In effect, you are setting the Input Offset of this input to remember
an

absolute volume setting (whatever it was before you held the

Mode button down) rather than a

relative setting (that is, relative

to the current playback volume).

PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON AGAIN…
until the display reads NEW DATA.

This indicates that your new Automatic Output Level has been
stored in non-volatile memory. Your Nº38 will now automatically
return to this volume setting whenever this input is selected. To
reverse this situation, simply re-adjust the Input Offset as described
above (in “Programming Input Offsets”).

Note: It is necessary for the Nº38 to have an Input Offset of 0.0 in
order to access the AUTO setting. As a result, it will be necessary
to

save a 0.0 Input Offset before selecting AUTO if a higher offset

was previously saved.

The Nº38 provides a user-defined Mute function which instantly
reduces the output level by a predefined amount between 1 and 60
decibels. The factory default setting is -20 dB. If you regularly listen at
relatively high sound pressure levels, you may wish to increase the
magnitude of the change brought about by engaging the Mute
function. For example, a -20 dB change from an average of 95 dB SPL
would bring the volume in the room down to 75 dB SPL. If used in
response to the telephone ringing, you would probably find 75 dB SPL
of music in the background too loud for a comfortable telephone
conversation. To alter the change introduced by the Mute function:

PRESS AND HOLD THE MUTE BUTTON
Wait until the Display reads “MUTE” and a number (which will read
“-20” as delivered from the factory).
