The highest given positive 11-bit number (7F0hex) yields
in a maximum possible gain of 12 dB. Decreasing the
volume register by 1 LSB decreases the volume by
0.125 dB. Volume settings lower than the given mini-
mum mute the output. With large scale input signals,
positive volume settings may lead to signal clipping.
With Fast Mute, volume is reduced to mute position by
digital volume only. Analog volume is not changed. This
reduces any audible DC plops. Going back from Fast
Mute should be done to the volume step before Fast
Mute was activated.

If the clipping mode is set to “Reduce Volume”, the fol-
lowing clipping procedure is used: To prevent severe
clipping effects with bass, treble, or equalizer boosts, the
internal volume is automatically limited to a level where,
in combination with either bass, treble, or equalizer set-
ting, the amplification does not exceed 12 dB.
If the clipping mode is “Reduce Tone Control”, the bass
or treble value is reduced if amplification exceeds 12 dB.
If the equalizer is switched on, the gain of those bands
is reduced, where amplification together with volume ex-
ceeds 12 dB.
If the clipping mode is “Compromise Mode”, the bass or
treble value and volume are reduced half and half if am-
plification exceeds 12 dB (see example below). If the
equalizer is switched on, the gain of those bands is re-
duced half and half, where amplification together with
volume exceeds 12 dB.
