Yes you are right my Sony AVR does have a digital readout, that I can not see from my seating position, so I use a pair of binoculars, have to be very carefull when switching from disc to tuner which requires much lower volume. I do not have to write down the setting for each disc ,I can still remember the correct dB nos. for many
discs. Basically I agree 4dB more is required for BIS , however I still find I have to adjust more frequently than with any other label.

Poor you.
Perhaps the solution to your problem is a preamp with remote volume control. If you can read the settings remotely then you can jot down notes as to the best settings for any particular recording and use these to avoid trial and error when playing a disk multiple times. Getting the best playback volume is absolutely critical to getting good sound. Being within 1 dB of the optimum for each recording is probably the most important system tweak that one can do after getting good speaker and listening positions. There have been audiophile orchestral recordings that some reviewers panned and others praised. IMO it came down to taking the trouble of finding the correct playback volume. (I have in mind the Water Lily Acoustics Mahler 5.)
