Volume levels w/ Sony Reciever

Hi. My wife got me this Sony surround sound system for my birthday and I'm trying to get it all up and running. I'm almost there but I've got a question. When I play a DVD or just run cable tv audio thru it, I have to turn it up to nearly max level to get a good room filling sound. But when I play my cd player through it or just use the tuner in the reciever, I don't have to run it nearly as loud. I'm worried that sometime after watching a movie the volume level will be set high and then the next day or something, somebody is going to turn on the radio or play a cd and blow the speakers.
So, why is there such a difference in levels? Shouldn't the output levels from the DVD and TV be hotter? FWIW, I've checked and I don't have the compression feature on so that's not the problem.
Thanks,
Greg
