I have this nifty new receiver, which sounds great--a huge improvement over my 
38-year-old Pioneer.

What puzzles me is the volume control: ?Minimum volume is -90dB (mute), and 
maximum is +15dB.

Huh?

What is zero dB? ?Is it an arbitrary point? ?Is it linked to some undisclosed 
property of the unit?

I can tell you that 0dB is too loud to be in the room with using the tuner, 
barely tolerable with a CD, and just a bit loud with an LP.

Otherwise, the scale makes no sense to me.


I believe Zero dB is the power level at which the audio signal would start to clip in the amplifier.
