Another way to view the volume level is to think in terms of the attenuation that is applied to the output. Attenuation reduction is indicated by the lit or blinking input buttons: when fewer input buttons are lit, attenuation is gr eater (and the volume is quieter). • At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or backgr ound illuminated and [...]
