Limiting volume on a Denon amp?

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

The guys in my shop are always cranking the volume to high on the shop stereo. Is there a way to put some sort of adjustable resistor on each speaker to limit the volume? Anything greater then 25% ends up being to loud and I'm tired of turning it down all the time.

Install a hidden rheostat, or get a cheap assortment of resistors from radio shack or online and experiment with what works at keeping the max volume at an acceptable level to make it more permanent and install it in-line. The rheostat would obviously be easily adjustable if it gets found.

OR let them know you will no longer tolerate the volume being pushed past a certain level. I know every shop I've worked in that was the case. At one place a couple people pushed their luck and ruined it for everyone. If you're the boss, you should have the last word.

I would need a rheostat on each speaker line, correct? Was thinking of installing up on the speakers where they couldn't get at them.

[CAMAN]

Yup, install them on one wire going to each speaker.

Turn the volume to an acceptable level and then gorilla glue the knob.

Lock the receiver in a room or cabinet (proper ventilation of course).

Look in the Options area under Volume Control. I don't know if it's % or absolute numbers but, on mine you can limit volume output but, the selections are only Off, 61,71 and 81..as far as I can see.

Mine also has a power on volume preset so, when the unit is turned on, the volume is already set. That option, on mine, is fully adjustable. Set it and tell them, don't touch!
