I bought my husband the Sony STR-DE695 for Christmas (now wishing I hadn't). The volume is plenty loud enough when playing the tuner, but when you switch it to TV or DVD, the volume is VERY low. Maximum is 75, and it must be turned up to 50-60 just to watch a movie. If a button was accidently pressed & the receiver switched over to a radio station, it would blow you away. Any ideas what could be causing this? |

On your tv menu, there probably is a speaker on/off function. Experiment with different settings and you probably will get in working to your satisfaction.
If not, you will get used to it in time - no big problem.

I think this one sounds a lot better for the same money - perhaps you want to return it.

You will be happy with this. Looks better too - slim and sophisticated.

If it is like my Denon, you can set different sound levels on each source by bumping up the decible levels going to each speaker. I have evened mine out for all sources and it works quite nicely now. Even bumped the center channel up for watching dvd movies so you can hear the dialogue easily now. Used a sound level meter also to even out the fronts and the surrounds. |
