slp-98 output voltage question

Hi, I just got a slp-98 and in the manual it says, "1 volt output line stage=16db"
Does this mean the output voltage is 1 volt? The reason I ask is that my amplifier has a switch which allows either .75volts or 2.75 volts input sensitivity.
I don't know which setting I should have it on. Is there a general rule? Do you use the one that's closest, or if you are over .75volts, you should go up to the next setting. I did some quick a/bing and I think it sounds better at the.75 setting. Anyone know?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks guys,

I will send Cary an email to double check. With the switch set at .75v the volume control is around 9-12, when it is at 2.75 the volume control is at 1-3, but that can be changed depending on the gain setting of the power amp. Right now gain is at 12 on both channels.
It has been my experience that Cary products sound better if you can keep the volume below 12. It sounds much better at .75v so I will keep it there. Thanks again.
