To me, the volume control on the 1103 seemed pretty weird as long as I used
the knob, but someone else recommended that it's much easier to adjust the
volume by pressing 1-5 Volume for volume level 15 or 2-0 Volume for volume
level 20. This works so naturally now for me that I don't even think of the
1103 as having any other way of setting the volume. Besides, most of my
listening is done at the same volume, so it hardly ever gets changed anyway.
