As Owl's_Warder points out, every source is slightly different. It would be nice(r) to have this setting for each input source. The 976 starts out at -40dB, but I've had to set mine to -60dB for the TV converter source.


Does it or not effect overall volume and how?

If the "it" in your question refers to the default volume setting in the menu, this 'default volume' setting sets the initial volume at power on from standby. You can choose how loud the 976 is when you first turn it on.
