Hi Frank:

A consumer receiver probably wants to see -10 level and consumer equipment probably only puts
out -10 but you can experiment and see. If loud stuff sounds distorted, good chance the reciever
input is overloaded and jumper down to -10. My card from BSW came jumped at -10 anyway. I was
surprised because factory default used to be +4. So make sure it's really set at +4.

Glad to hear it all worked out. I think you'll dig it. Great piece of technology.
