I suddenly started having a strange problem. My volume is at a fixed level up to -20 db. Then when I hit -19 it jumps very loud. Go to -20 and it drops greatly. Sound is clear otherwise. It's like there is 2 adjustments, medium and loud.

Dear Tabasco,
Your receiver is basically going into protect mode.
Just check your speaker cabling again. Make sure that all of them are seated properly, none is touching each other or the body of receiver. Take out all the wire and put them back again if necessary..
Some times even a little tiny frayed wire touching the receiver could trigger the protect mode. Be careful, since protect mode is sometimes not fast enough and it could blown a few trasistors in the power circuit.
Just check your speaker as well....whether they play all right thru another receiver or amplifier. its posiible they might be shorting inside. A little frayed wire could also trigger the protect circuit in your receiver.
I hope this should solve your problem.
If everything else seems all right and still your receiver shut down when you raise the volume then it possible that there are bad connections on the main board that are set in.
This would generally happen if the system is slighly old or have dry solder and when you raise up the volume. This should be a simple repair that will not require parts. If you can solder, you will be able to repair this yourself. If not, then a local service center will change the local labor rate.
Hope you can sort out your problem with the above trouble shooting. Let me know if I can guide you further.
Best of luck! Thanks for using FixYa!
SOURCE: Receiver won't let volume go higher than -7 dB
Actually, -7 db and above woul be quite load.
Anyway, I am not very familar with the Pioneer GUI auto setup. But, am aware of how AVR are set-up.
If you have set up the home theatre by auto/manual setup then please check the channel levels whether any of your channels settings is at +7.0db.
If so, reduce this setting where it more +7.0, then you would be able to raise the overall main setting from the volume control to go higher than -7db.( by as much as you've lowered the particular channel setting)
Please do let me know if this helps.

I just picked up one at the dump. You have to take apart the front end by unscrewing screws and pulling out ribbon edge connections. It is easier than some components. Then pry off two of the small clamp downs on the front of the volume potentiometer; pry apart about 1/32 of an inch and spray control cleaner for a second and clamp down. repeat on other side.
worked for me.

SOURCE: problem's with volume control for PIONEER C-73(control amplifier)
Try cleaning it with WD40. or some other penitrating fluid. Or just a hoover nozle. It's just dirt in the control.
SOURCE: I don't have sound even if I turn knob at top
Turn it down to 1/4 while troubleshooting or you may destroy your speakers after you find that button, whatever it is.
Has it NEVER worked or did it suddenly start acting this way?
Do ALL sources act this way or only one(some)?
I'd look for a the Mute button or a Tape monitor incorrectly selected.
Initial volume INI.VOL.
Use this feature to set the volume level when the power of this unit is turned on.
Choices: Off, -80 dB to +16 dB
