The attenuator STEP UP/DOWN commands ($82xx to $87xx) can be used to gradually change the attenuation level to
the target value in one code step (0.5 dB) at a time every 4, 8, or 16 samples. The target value can be loaded directly by
using the attenuator DIRECT SET command ($81xx).
When the attenuator STEP UP command is used, the target attenuation code must have a larger value than the code set at
that point. When the attenuator STEP DOWN command is used, inversely, the target attenuation code must have a
smaller value than the code set at that point. Also note that when either the attenuator STEP UP or DOWN command is
issued, the next attenuator setting command must not be issued until the preceding STEP UP/DOWN command has
completed, i.e. the circuit has reached the target value.
The following formula can be used to estimate the time required for the attenuation value to reach the target value set by
an attenuator STEP UP/DOWN command.

The attenuator can be set in 0.5 dB steps, and the amount of attenuation can be calculated from the following formula.
attenuation = (data value – 255)

Note that since this digital attenuator is located after the HDCD detection circuit, it will not affect HDCD discrimination,
no matter what attenuation level is set.
