HD extender audio out question

[Octathorpe]

Hello. I've just ordered the HD extender and I am planning my install. Does anyone know if the audio out levels (either RCA or via HDMI) are controlled by the remote?

Often on these kinds of devices the audio outs are just line level out and the remote has no control over the output volume. I am trying to decide if I need to use an amp with a remote controlled volume or if I can use a simple (set gain) two channel amp to drive a pair of speakers and control the volume with the extender's remote (my preference). I do not plan on using the optical out and I'm only functioning in stereo for now.

Thanks,

Scott

Answer: Yes with RCA.

Here, I'll make you feel better with a follow-up question:

I will be routing through a receiver, and would prefer to control volume level there. Assuming that the HDMI and/or optical out is line-level and not adjustable, can the volume buttons on the remote control be re-programmed to my receiver's volume codes?

The remote's not programable as far as I can tell.

Optical out should adjustable the same as RCA with raw wave but must likely not DD Audio sorry I can't test rigth now.
I can not test HDMI I don't have any TV that support this sorry but there a few other that do hoply they get around to this post and reply back good news.
