Why does my receiver volume go from -db to +17db


On my NAD T 765 the volume goes from -90db to 17db. What does that mean? I thought 0db was silence and 35 t0 45db was an averave ambient level for a room.

It means the NAD has a very wide dynamic range. Don't worry about it. Set the volume to the level you like and don't worry about what the numbers read...
