Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (HVA models)
On HVA models, the audio level of each input can be displayed and adjusted
through a range of -18 dB to +24 dB to ensure that there is no noticeable volume
difference among sources (figure 3-41). The audio level can be adjusted from the
front panel or under RS-232/RS-422 control. The default audio level is 0 dB.
