AUDIO SYSTEM WITH PARENTAL MAXIMUM VOLUME CONTROL

摘要

A user interface (104) of an audio system (100) enables adjustment of a volume level of an audio signal being reproduced on at least a portion of the audio system to a desired maximum volume level. The user interface further enables the desired maximum volume level to be selected as a set maximum volume level. A processor (102) electrically interconnected with the user interface limits the volume at which audio programs are reproduced on at least a portion of the audio system to said set maximum volume level. An audio signal is generated, a volume level of the audio signal is adjusted to a desired maximum volume level in response to a user input, and the desired maximum volume level is established as a set maximum volume level for audio programs played on at least a portion of the audio system (100).
