Question:

Maximum volume is not loud enough.

Answer:
The AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System) which is the function to limit the maximum volume to prevent auditory disturbance or distraction may be enabled.

  1. Press and hold the BACK/HOME button until the Home menu appears.
  2. Press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to select /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg (settings), and then press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to confirm.
  3. Press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to select Common Settings, and then press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to confirm. (The list of Common Settings options appears.)
  4. Press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to select AVLS (Volume Limit), and then press /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to confirm.
  5. Press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to select Off, and then press the /support/attachments/45481/direction.jpg button to confirm.
    (The AVLS is disabled.)
