Page 1 of KENWOOD 7030D LOW VOLUME

I have got a Pioneer DV-530 connected to my 7030D but when it is running in Digital 5.1,DTS, or Pro-logic the sound level is agreat deal lower than CD or normal video. I know that it is designed to be more suttle but i have to increase the volume a huge amount.Anyone any ideas anyone???

I have a Scan SC-2000 DVD Player; The volume levels are low when it is playing a DVD disk with Dolby 5.1 but Scan have included a `hidden` function where by a few button presses on the remote will increase the audio output levels.

6.10 Why is the audio level so low from my DVD player?
Well in truth it`s not the audio level from the DVD that`s too low, it`s everything else that`s higher. I know this is a horribly generic answer, But here is the reason.
Movie soundtracks are extremely dynamic in nature, ranging from near silences to very loud bangs :-). In order to support an increased dynamic range and hit the peaks as was originally intended without distortion, the average sound level must far lower then most other equipment. This is why the line volume from DVD players is substantially lower than almost any other home cinema source such as a Video or CD Player.

there u go that should answer your question
