Hi!
I don't have these particular speakers yet but if the volume band is
anything like that on the A5 then it is exactly that, a band with the
Standbay switch at the left end of the band and the volume up/down
buttons at the right end however they're not touch sensitive meaning
that you can feel them under the band when you press them, something
you're have to practise but it won't take you long to be absolutely
perfect and you'll probably find yourself using the remote control more
often anyway.
Do the speakers control the volume of Windows? Well yep they do if you
have them connected via the USB cable, for want of a better description
the speakers are a sound device thus Windows has full control over it
and the volume control can control the volume of your system.
If you connect the MM1 via the Aux-In jack then obviously the volume on
the speakers doesn't have any effect on Windows at all but the USB
method is by far the better sounding without a doubt.
As far as I'm aware the remote control B&W gives you with your system is
standard throughout the range so you might have to correct me on the
above statement.
The remote control is simple to operate, the power button is on the top
on its own, then you'll find the volume up button, the previous, pause
and next buttons, the volume down buttun and then the source selection,
that's it!

Hi all
Am still waiting for my mm-1 speakers to arrive and have 1 or 2 questions
for those of you who have them.
The connection and setup seems to be a very simple matter indeed.
I believe there is a standby button and volume buttons incorporate in the
metal band around the active speaker. Can you actually feel these controls
on the band? I find it a bit difficult to picture.
Also are the volume controls separate of the master control in windows or do
they change the volume controls in windows itself?
Finally regarding the remote control. As far as I understand it, it has
buttons for some functions like stop, pause and skipping tracks. Do these
controls work with windows software players? I use foobar 2000 as my
premium audio player.

Andre
