Hmmm... Re-read my original statement, poor choice of wording on my part: "some people don't consider it critical" might have been a better way to put it. I'm not going to turn my nose up and some additional feature if it is present (unless it is of very limited use and incurs a cost premium, that is). Between my wife and myself and our various TV viewing / music listening situations, the master volume level varies widely and regularly on my system even if the source being used stays constant. Always has. That's just me, though -- I can see where a feature like separate gain adjustments for different sources could be very useful in many cases, potentially even essential, even though it's not something I've ever found myself in need of. As I said to svtsho, some features (like this one) are of major importance to some people but not to others.
