I have a 500w Panasonic home cinema audio but I don't know how much power consumption it takes, will it take less power consumption if I set the volume to 10% rather than a 100% if yes how much

500W is the max output. There is no way to know how much power it will use as an input without the access to the wiring diagrams or measuring it. Yes lower volume should use less power but that's not really relevant. It uses what it uses

If you want to know power usage for an appliance just get one of these.
