the volume. The volume control of the DNA runs in a range from -80dB
(quiet) to +10dB (very loud) in real 1 dB steps in relation to the level of
the input signal. You can also control the volume with your System Remote Control Harmony One or the software Audionet RCP. Multiroom
volume can only be set with your system remote control Harmony One or
the software Audionet RCP (see section "7.5 - Screen 4" on page 36 and
"8.4.1 - Loudspeaker" on page 54).
6.2.3 Muting

Control Harmony One (see section "7.1 - Key assignment DNA" on
page 33).
· You can also use software Audionet RCP
Press key of the Audionet System Remote Control Harmony One to
mute or un-mute your DNA.
Just as well as the input selection, the DNA uses soft muting, i.e. volume
is stepped down gently to -80 dB, and then the outputs are switched off.
The display informs the user of a muted unit with the text MUTE. Even if
the dim level is set to Off, the text is displayed.
To un-mute the DNA press key again. Here as well, the volume is
stepped up gently to its original level after switching on the outputs.
Note
· While the unit is muted, you may of course select a different input
channel. But the DNA will stay muted until you press the key
again to un-mute and restore the original volume level.
· If you turn up the volume by using the up key or Vol+ , while the
DNA is muted, the muting function will be deactivated and the new
volume level set.
