Do Marantz receivers not have volume memory and volume recall functions? I looked through the manual, codelists on Marantz's site, and codelist in URC software. I see no mention of this feature. Bummer if it does not.

There is a setting in the menu where you can choose the turn on volume as a specific volume that you input , or the last volume it was at when you turned it off.

Is this what you mean?

Craig, no. Volume Memory/Recall allows you to call up a specific volume level with control system macros. With Yamaha, for example, I set an AVR to a high volume with Volume Recall in my macro for Sonos. With other sources, I set a low Volume Recall. Trying to do the same thing here with a Marantz on a takeover job.

Ggr,
Thanks! You just reminded me that Yamaha has this and it will solve EXACTLY this problem I'e run into: no matter how low you set the input trim on the FM tuner, it's still much louder than the DirecTV receiver and BD player.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

No memory functions that I know of (10+ years almost exclusively installing Marantz receivers). Workaround is discrete volume IR codes.

Seems like that would be the way to go. I'd rather know with certainty what my control system was sending the volume to instead of relying upon a setting in the AVR that can be changed or reverted easily.

RTi's Marantz driver allows you to set the volume at whatever level that you want on turn on. Called Volume Set.

Urc had 232 volume presets, don't remember them working. This can easily be done with C4. Other than that, turn on volume like Craig said is what you get.

That does not help for this purpose

Where can these codes be found? I downloaded the IR code list off of Marantz's public website and they did not have them listed there.

Why not?
If you van read current volume level, you can recall it with direct volume set.

Or are you needing to match up source levels? How about the input level setting per input available on some models? I can't imagine starting up a source with high volume.

If the level is set on turn on only, and assuming you can only set one volume level at turn on, there is no way with this method to set one volume for video sources, and a different volume for Sonos.

I have no knowledge on their input level settings to know if it will work. I've set up plenty of Yamaha's with the volume memory/recall function without any issues. I always sent the input command a few times before the recall command to ensure 100% that the receiver switches input first.
