>> The bar graphs show this data, going left to right:
I was able to adjust the first ten and last two bar graphs.
Of the first ten, I set them all to 100%
All four of those that I could not adjust started with "S/PD...".
(I've NOT changed their mode from "OO" to "MM" as of yet.)
The last two (Rear Mic's) could be adjusted, but I left them at 0%.
Still no change regarding the Audio output.
What does the "S/PD..." and so forth stand for?
Should I change their modes from "OO" to "MM", or leave them alone?
