Hmm...that's pretty weird. When you said the volume scale was in dB, I was expecting that the maximum number on the scale was going to be zero. I'm used to Yamaha home theater receivers where this is the case.
For the Yamaha receivers, the volume is measured in dB relative to the maximum gain of the amplifier -- that way when the volume is turned all the way up, it is set to 0 dB.
I can't imagine why the volume knob would go from negative dB to positive dB though...doesn't make much sense to me.
