The factory default volume setting is to a high volume level. To prevent possible
audio shock please make sure that after all connections have been made, that
you not play anything through the system until you have first powered up and
reduced the volume setting by pressing the volume button on the remote control.
Once this has been done then proceed with the TEST TONE and VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS as detailed on page 4 of the instruction manual. Note that the volume settings are maintained when powering off using the remote control. The
volume settings will need to be reset if the power button on the front panel or if the
mains plug is removed from its socket.
