7.1. Volume Setting
Volume setting is done by either rotating the encoder knob (Figure 1.4), or pushing
the VOL+ e VOL- keys on the remote control.
Volume can be set from -96dB (minimum) to 0dB (maximum) in 0.5dB steps.
Depending on the chosen volume display mode, the display will show attenuation in
dB or in steps on a scale such that step “0” is equivalent of the minimum level
possible.
7.2. Mute Toggle
The YOUNG DSD is provided with a feature (muting) which allows for immediately
lowering of the listening level by 20dB without touching the encoder knob. This
feature is useful when it is necessary to listen to another person for a while, or to
operate the source to change track, answer the telephone, etc.
Muting is toggled by a short press of the front panel’s left button (Figure 1, 1). When
muting is active, the “M” letter appears on the display (Figure 6).
To reset muting the user only needs to push the front panel button once more: the
original listening level will be immediately restored and the “M” letter disappears.
As an alternative it is possible to toggle mute on and off by pushing the “MUTE” key
on the remote control.
