I found the same thing while trying to control a Pioneer
Elite A/V receiver. I currently cannot get the MX-350
to accept any codes, so I was just testing it's learning
ability. It learned everything from the Pioneer remote
just fine, but like you, the volume only works in steps,
not continuously.
Did you ever find a solution?
Now that I have located a MX-350 that I can actually configure with manufacturers' codes, I have made an interesting discovery. If I configure the remote using the correct code for my Pioneer A/V receiver, the volume buttons work as expected. That is to say that if you press and hold them, the volume smoothly goes up/down until you release the button. Having previously tried to "learn" the same functionality from the original Pioneer remote, I get the stepping behavior mentioned above. Odd. Anyway, it works fine for me now so I'm satisfied.
These were my only two complaints with the MX-350 and now that they've both been resolved, I must say I'm very pleased with it. Granted, I've only had it for a day but I'm sure we pleased with it for years to come.
