In playing around with the volume (I sometimes play DVD's at a rather high volume when I am running on a treadmill) I noticed that the 950 dial stops at 10 decibels. It is loud but not deafening and at least not as deafening as before. My speaker system are golden reference pinnacles that have an RMS of 200 watts so they should be able to take anything that the 950/770 can throw at it.

Did I do anything inadvertently that threw the volume off so that it goes down to -85 db but "only" up to 10 db's.
