it takes FOREVER to change the volume using that tiny knob.

can you change the speed of the function in some sub menu?

i ordered a remote for it.

hopefully, that will have a MUTE button on it.

Nah, there's nothing you can do about it aside from turning the knob faster.

If a mute button is what you're looking for, just press the volume knob for a second or so

For mute, what I do is hit the select button twice (rapidly), this moves the D3 from MAP (where I have it normally) to BT-Phone which cuts off the sound. I know its not an 'ideal' solution but it works pretty well actually.

From that point, 3 taps takes me back to iPod, so it starts playing again, (once you know the taps for your system and train yourself on it, it becomes 2nd nature).

You can turn the SLA all the way up on each input (doesn't apply to FM Radio) That will increase the volume output for any given volume setting, making the volume number to reach ear blowing much lower, and thus faster to get to.

That's just plain stupid

He asked for a solution. You offered nothing.

But thanks for chiming in.

Well what your solution offers him is a potential to completely blow his speakers. If he's listening to FM radio, and he accidentally switches over to another source that has the SLA turned all the way up, it's probably going to be loud enough to destroy his speakers.

The SLA boost really doesn't do THAT much, you'd have to have the radio up to near speaker blowing volume for that to be a concern.
