does the volume (on remote) ramp up quickly & smoothly, or is it jumpy? and is there visual confirmation on receiver that shows volume changing?

The volume can be set to decibels or 0-98 both in increments of .5 It is a smooth linear transition most all the way up the scale. Each .5 increment is noticeably louder. Holding down the volume adjustment on the remote moves it up and down rather quick but still smoothly. It feels like very good quality.

Digital display shows change in volume. Each tap of volume up or down changes volume by 0.5 increment. Holding volume up or down changes volume rapidly but smoothly.

It has been descent. Have the base and three remotes and it has worked well. Base has volume control and you can set the remotes as well.

No problem on mine. The only problem I have is on the remote is that I cannot lower the sound, but I believe that is my fault.

I have the same setup... mine go into protection mode immediately if the volume is above around the 25 setting. Thats about 65 decibels. Guess Im looking for a new receiver unless anyone has an idea.

That does sound like an issue. How do you have this thing hooked up. Hdmi? Also, there are some features about level control. I will let you know that it does NOT sound normal. I listen to my dish network anwhere between level 35 to 45. My Hd dvd player, and Ps3 Blu ray player usually sound powerful at level 45-60. If my system was at 70, the roof would be blown off my house most likely. Check your speaker connections. Are all connections secure? I need more information.***Actually second thought, if you are NOT set up by HDMI or Optical cable. And you are using RCA red and white audio cables. Maybe that is normal..

Yes, the remote offers both bass and treble adjustments as well as output leveling and dialog emphasis. I think you will find the available adjustments more than adequate.

Yes, The remote is a little more difficult to control. I would upgrade if I had to do over.

I also recently purchased this unit, and mine controls the volume fine with short pushes on the + and - buttons.

There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8. I to was slightly disappointed at the volume, however, I found that moving the subwoofer to a different location made a huge difference. I have the port facing one wall and the sub the other in the corner of my home. I also found a noticeable difference when facing the port to the open room. When you disconnect the sub, you will notice how much it really puts out. If you are looking for ground shaking bass, this is not the system for you. It's enough to enjoy theater quality sound.Hope this helps. There is a s/w level control on the lower half of the remote. Press the right arrow until desired level. I have mine at the max; 8.

It will turn the Volume UP+DOWN BUT that's it! You can buy a remote for about $15 on up !

As a sound attenuator, its circuits are designed to suppress the added volume that were once given to commercials, but were taken away by law. This means, with the device (only) on an analogue system, both the program volume and the commercial's volumes do not change. However, the volume of different stations may change, so ultimately you will still have to use your remote to either boost, or lower the volume, irregardless of their claims. If you need your volume to be louder, your only recourse is to use the volume control. There are no controls on the device itself.

I've been quite pleased with mine. I generally keep the gain pretty low, especially when listening to music because it tends to rattle things in our kitchen cabinets. It doesn't hit like my old Cerwin Vega 15s. But it's much more well rounded for multipurpose home theatre, and takes up a lot less space.

Almost instant, I have a 42 inch Vizio and have the same problem with it. Also, the Vizio is very slow starting up; the Sharp start up is a little better. I am not bothered by the slow remote response because I have cable and feed is almost instant on both with cable box.

I had the same issue. Seems like if you hit that button in the first 10 seconds of a song, it will skip forward to the next song and if it is after that, it will adjust volume. Not sure if that is completely correct, but I have inadvertently forwarded to the next song as well.

The volume can only be controlled by the sound bar remote. I thought this would be a problem but I have my television audio set to auto adjust sound and very rarely need to ever pickup the sound bar remote.

I have my manual knob set at max. I use the tv remote to raise and lower the volume. The two I purchased are quite clear and work great. The box amplifies the output signal from your tv set, so sure you can use the remote for the volume as I've described.

The volume control remote has a button on top that cycles through Bluetooth, wired input (the line-in and optical inputs use the same jack so only one can be connected), and power. I never turn mine off though. There's no hiss or hum, the LED isn't obnoxious, and I'm willing to pretend that the power draw is minimal. The speakers will automatically reconnect to my phone when I come home and it's very nice to simply hit play to resume whatever I had been listening to in the car.
