What jakewash said. I didn't imagine for a second that your remote didn't permit you to change channel levels without entering the config menu.

I will say that although I am not too fond of my Denon's user manual, I absolutely love the remote. When I happened upon this Denon, I didn't even give the remote a second thought. But I couldn't possibly live without it now. I am very hesitant about going to a different brand ever again just because I love the remote so much.
