active regardless of Volume Lock settings.
However, if you lock the volume controls to
the AUD mode, you will have control of the
audio device’s volume in all other modes (i.e.,
VCR, DVD, TV, and CBL). This can be an advan-
tage if, for example, you always listen to home
entertainment devices through your receiver’s
speakers.
