I know I will have to install separate volume controls in the machine but doe anyone know if there are factory controls? If there are I want to ensure that they are set to the lowest setting so the ones I install are not STRESSED out.

I do not see any on the top board in the door where the front speakers are installed. The side board left of the reels has a clear plastic covering on it and I see a rectangle box on it with a white tab but if that is not it I don't want to remove that cover.

It is a very LOUD machine. I can't believe the sound that comes out of those 1 1/2 X 4 inch speakers in the door.
