Meridian America 541 - Manual (Page 21)

Using the surround controller
15
The 541 Surround Controller adjusts the volume in precise steps
of 1 dB, where 9 dB is equivalent to doubling the loudness. The
current volume setting is displayed in dB on the front panel
display, and can be varied in the range 1 to 99 dB.
When you first connect power to the surround controller the
volume is set to 65, which is similar to the mid-way position of
the rotary volume control on a conventional preamplifier. For
normal to high level listening you should expect volume levels in
the range 60 to 90.
To change the volume
● Press A or V (front panel), or the red A or V keys on the
remote.
As you adjust the volume setting the display will show the
current volume level.
For example:
Music 70
To mute the sound

The display will show:
Mute
To restore the sound
● Press Mute again.
Alternatively the sound will be restored if you adjust the volume.
