1. ALC Limiter Operation
During ALC limiter operation, when output level exceeds the ALC limiter detection level (Table 29), the
VOL value is attenuated automatically by the amount defined by the ALC limiter ATT step (Table 30).
(Once this ALC limiter operation is started, attenuation will be repeated sixteen times.)
After completing the attenuate operation, unless ALC bit is changed to “0”, the operation repeats when
the input signal level exceeds ALC limiter detection level.
