Thanks for the information. So from what you are saying I gather that the volume control which was set at 50 before I moved it to 100 refers to a normal volume control - the same type of control that I would find on my av receiver or on a table radio. By moving it up to 100 am I basically just passing through the signal to my receiver? What I am wondering is if using the control on the SB3 can have a negative effect on the quality of the sound. I find your volume adjustment explanation very interesting. Would using it have any potental impact on the sound quality?
