1) To adjust the actual volume due to some CDs being low in volume due to NOT limiting, then other CDs have extreme LOUD. So using a changer, sometime the incredible blast after a soft one ends and a really LOUD one starts... jump for that volume control.
2) to play quieter in the evening than during the day.
3) to keep from disturbing the neighbors.
4) to lower the volume to answer the telephone.
5) to adjust for the difference between LP playback and CD playback.
6) While watching sports, if some big call I want to turn on the sound of the Plasma when it is on with the 'mute' used.
7) when I go out and leave the stereo on for my pets to keep them calm and happy, I turn the streo volume down (to make certain the CD changer (if a LOUD) disc is in there) does not play too loud. (so the neighbors are not disturbed).
8) so I don't have problems with hearing loss from playing music too loud for too long a period of time.
