Volume levels w/ Sony Reciever

Posted by LikeWhatG? (A) on January 22, 2003 at 07:00:15

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
