wes18 Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 02/10/07 Posts: 8	I haven't done any upgrades in a while to my 990. Did a quick search on "volume" and didn't see anything coming up. I know one can set the startup volume of the 990. Is there a way to set the max volume in order to prevent family/friends from blowing the speakers?

You can adjust all the channel trims down equally until the lowest settings are at the lowest possible setting (I think it is -15dB) so that the highest setting is quieter than it would otherwise be. Do this after calibrating the system. Basically you would be hanging the level to which the unit is calibrated. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

I have blown multiple fuses. I used to use a 1.5 amp SLO-BLO fuse which I think limits to about 60 wattts. You can get fuse holders at any Radio Shack for about $3/speaker. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner
