Re: Understanding the volume knob...

Yes.

I haven't played with your receiver, but I do believe the volume control is not active when running calibration tones.

Your calibration procedure is pretty accurate, but ideally the meter should be where your head would be. Not always acheivable in the real world.

The goal, is to have a point of reference. So that when you tell someone you listen at -12.0dB, it gives them a repeatable level that they can achieve.

I rarely listen at true "reference level" myself, it's too loud for my tastes. The norm for me is -10 to -15dB.
