If I'm not mistaken, the "0 db" point is the maximum rated output power.
But that's a big "if".

I have this nifty new receiver, which sounds great--a huge improvement over my

What puzzles me is the volume control: Minimum volume is -90dB (mute), and
maximum is +15dB.
Huh?
What is zero dB? Is it an arbitrary point? Is it linked to some undisclosed
property of the unit?
I can tell you that 0dB is too loud to be in the room with using the tuner,
barely tolerable with a CD, and just a bit loud with an LP.
Otherwise, the scale makes no sense to me.
