Receiver with subwoofer level buttons?


I have a Marantz SR8015 v2 receiver and the remote has like 40 buttons on it, 36 of them are NOT important to me and are never used. Is there a way to adjust the subwoofer level from the remote? THere’s no way I’m going into that clunky menu to adjust.

Why do I ask? I just went to JL Audio Fathom f113s and they don’t have remotes like SVS, but they do have a "Reference" mode that bypasses all controls on the sub allowing you to make adjustments from your receiver/preamp. Wouldn’t that make sense to put sub controls on the remote?

Manufacturers please take note: No one understands all those buttons on your remote. Everyone needs to make sub adjustments from the seating position. Please add level, phase, polarity, and freq cutoff buttons!

Yes, but those functions are done in the subwoofer plate amp. So, the remote would be controlling the sub not the receiver.
