Hello friends

I have a Denon 3803 A/V receiver. It is rated at 110 watts/channel.
The display shows that the lowest volume is -80 dB. What I would like
to know is how do I determine what db is what watt ? Does it mean that if
I turn up the volume till 0db, then the receiver's output is 110 watts ?

Thank you
Regards
Vivek

Ummm. I don't think you can. 0dB in this case is reference volume, I believe. You should be able to get mich higher than 0 as well.
