HTiB Volume Question
I've been looking at getting the Kenwood 205 HTiB that everyone is running for $299. While checking it and other HTiB systems I notice that the volume output isn't all that high when running the DVD compared to the actual tuner (radio). I crank the volume all the way up, and it's loud, but not incredibly loud like I was expecting (until I switched it over to the tuner and almost blew the speakers out).
I also noticed the same thing on my TV when I watch DVDs, i have to crank the volume up higher than I do when I just watch plain cable. Why is there such a difference in volume levels? And while we're on the subject, does anyone know why the numerics on the Kenwood go in descending order for increased volume? I'm a newbie to HTiBs, so please be kind to this idiot. Thanks. |

That is true with all audio setups. I believe it has to do with the larger dynamic range of DVD's. Basically DVD's are encoded correctly and everything else is too loud.

hey, i have noticed that on my sony htib. also playing a cd in the dvd player can be very loud as well. i dont know the reason for it though.

Thanks guys.
Does anyone out there have the Kenwood 205 that can speak about their experience once they have the system hooked up and the speakers properly placed. Don't know if that'll make a difference, but the only way I can hear the one at the store is with all the speakers next to each other on the shelf. I'd really appreciate hearing from a first hand user. Thanks! |
