How is the response of the volume up/down? Is it as responsive as a rotory volume?

Not as responsive as a rotory knob hesitates from time to time to change volume and songs

I've never once felt like "I wish it would get louder"... I've taken it to outdoor get togethers, camping, etc. and it is loud enough to have good background music volume. If you're trying to make the music the focal point of an event, you might want something bigger.

On # 1 I believe the volume is up to loud. can't tell you on #2, I never use the read button, sorry. I have 4 of them for the family and we have no problems.

I have not had an issue with sound with the unit. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve for sound. I think the unit is a bit slow for response is my biggest concern. Otherwise I just use it to play L&H; classic films. Because it was much cheaper to buy the region 2 library disc set than it was for ntsc by about 200.00.

Mine isn't whipser-quiet as the other reviewer said, though its not loud either. Its probably about what you would expect it to sound like.

Mine is rated the same and it seems to be working fine though I never really play at high volumes. Great speakers

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

It has decent volume control. Takes about 6 clicks to lower or increase volume significantly. Select and hold up volume button changes volume increase quickly.

Yes, I think it's perfect. You can set the volume to where you want it and it isn't very loud. Also, at the push of a button, it comes right back on. My son loves his.

No, I don't have any problem with the volume. Mine works just fine. Good luck

It is quite possible that will prove true. I noticed as I began using it again this weekend that I wish it had a bit greater volume. The sound is good. I only wish it would play a bit louder.

On the high setting it is really very loud. The volume drops considerably once you switch to the lower two settings. It is not really noticeable.

Is the volume on the phone up? Is the volume on the unit up ? Don't know anything else.

The ones I have are good volume wise. I usually turn the knob so that its half way up. Really don't need to turn it up any more than that. I ALSO have it set up so that my duet is set to the mono position whenever I use them.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

Mine responds from the next room only if there is little or no background noise. Even though it responds, it rarely gets the command I give it correctly. I hope it will learn over time. if not, it is just a gimmick.
