How do I adjust the Volume settings in NAD C 658?

Front Panel – Volume Adjust

The VOLUME knob control adjusts the overall loudness of the signal sent to the loudspeakers. The perfect signal tracking and channel balance provide a highly linear and low-noise operation. Clockwise – increase the volume level. Counterclockwise – lower the volume level.

SR 9 Remote – Volume Adjust

Press the [MUTE] button to switch OFF the sound to the speakers and headphones temporarily. The front display shows the Mute indication for 3 seconds and later appears above the current playing source. Press the [MUTE] button again to restore sound. Note: Adjusting the Volume level via the SR 9 or the front panel VOLUME knob automatically disables the MUTE Mode.

VOL [▲/▼]

Press the VOL [▲/▼] button to increase or decrease the loudness level. Release the button when the desired level is reached. When the VOL [▲/▼] button is pressed, the dB level shown in the front panel display will correspondingly increase or decrease.

VOLUME AT STANDBY MODE

• Suppose the C 658 with the Variable Volume Control setting enters the Standby Mode with a volume level higher than -20 dB. In that case, the Player always resumes Operating Mode with the default Volume level of -20 dB.
• Suppose the C 658 with the Variable Volume Control setting enters the Standby Mode with a -20 dB or lower volume level. In that case, the Player resumes Operating Mode with the initial Volume level unchanged.

Note: The default volume level at Standby Mode is -20 dB.

C 658 MAIN MENU VOLUME CONTROL SETTINGS

On the front panel of a C 658, you can set the Volume Control to either Variable or Fixed level for each Source (Source Setup > Volume Control). This Volume Control configuration is independent for each Source.

Variable Volume Control

The volume output level can be adjusted using the front panel VOLUME knob or SR 9 remote's VOL [▲/▼] buttons.

Fixed Volume Control

The volume output level cannot be adjusted, as the Volume Control feature of C 658 is bypassed.
