HELP! Anyone out there? Rotel AVR issues

I am setting up something like my 5th receiver in the past 3 years....apparently I didn't learn anything.
I have the Rotel RSX-1067. I have two major problems (and damn I wanted to watch a movie tonight):
1. I cannot get the test tone to function. I followed the instructions to make sure that I was not in bypass or in external input. I can toggle through speakers, but no test tone.
2. The real disturbing problem is that when I try to listen to a DVD or cable, the volume is so loud that I think it will blow the windows. If I try to turn the volume down, it stays at the same level until it gets to minimum.....where it is essentially off....so all, or nothing. I have turn on volume set to 20 (previous owner had it set to 45)....
I am sad.....and it is getting late, well sort of...

That is one huge receiver. I'd double check your DVD connections - also check the manual.

well, it's like this....some nights you should just use the system you have and not try to set up a new oe in a hurry and more or less in the dark.....frankly, I am to embarrassed to admit what I did....
but, all is good....and I now have a comparison of the 1067 with the BK Ref 30 and the Rotel RB 985. I have got to get better lighting in the HT room!
