I wish AVR's and RF remotes had an easy way to do this, but for Pioneer and 1100 remote, you have to pause the movie, make about 6 button presses to enter MCACC home menu, then go about 3 menus more deeper, make the changes, then about 10 more button presses to exit MCACC and reset the remote to where you need it, then press play. After doing this a few times, a little soft dialog doesn't seem so bad.
Hey Catbrat,
You can copy your MCACC setting to a different MCACC # and up the decibels on that one, so then you just have to switch your MCACC number without going into any menus.
