Don’t count on it being turned on. With it fixed it is pegged at the best possible signal the Fuze can produce. Also, this will discourage people from connecting low impedance loads to the lineout jacks which if too low may cook something in the player. Remember, electronic components work fine as long as you keep the smoke inside them. If you let the smoke out, they are dead!
I may be wrong, but I think the Sansa Dock has it’s own amp. So the remote probably runs the internal amp and the lineout level can be fixed without causing functional problems.
