If your reciever or Amps have a Max Volume setting... set it.
Yesterday while watching a movie with my kids in the basement, my toddler daughter put her feet on the armrest... or rather on the Volume Up button on my AVR Remote.
I did't know my Denon would go to +17. Thats as far as if got before I lept off the couch and grabbed the Volume knob on the unit and cranked down as fast as I could!
I am now deaf but my Max Volume setting is now set to "0".

Side note: I've listened to each of my speakers closely to see if I can hear any damage caused by clipping. I think we're ok. Need to give them another listen though just to be sure.
It is a great feature on Denon AVR's. I find it very useful not only if you have kids but also if you are having a party with a lot of people in the house. Adult guests in your HT area are just as bad as children in this regards - careless and idiotic.
