Volume level on ML?
Hey everyone, I just picked up my blue IS-F. 
I was just wondering what the typical volume level was for the ML/Nav unit? I keep mine in the 30s and it doesn't sound that loud. What does everyone set the volume at and what is the max for the unit? I just don't want to damage anything.
thanks!

The max is 62 on mine...but its a pre-production...so it might be different on other cars. Even at its loudest it still sounds really clear..no distortion at all...but I'm no audiophile so take my opinion with a grain of salt

its called Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) you have to turn it on under the audio settings for it to work

I haven't gotten close to 62 yet so I don't know how high mine would go.

I normally put it in the mid 30s but I also have a 10' sub in the back so it sounds nice and clean when playing the DVD/CD or my iPod. However, if FM radio is on, it is in the mid 40s.

different types of sound naturally are better at certain levels.. if you are listening say a AM station.. you would only need 15 or so... but listening to songs of different genres sound better in the higher numbers to get the surround sound effect
