Classe Processor and Amp

I set up classe processor ssp 300 and a 3 channel amp. When I play blue ray video via Oppo the volume seems very low. The processor levels from 0-98 in volume. I turn up to 50 and still don't hear the sound I then turn up to 70 level and start hearing the sound. And it will get louder if I turn volume up. 

Just wonder any classe owners experienced the same thing or did I do something wrong?

thanks.

This is a wild question, but is your center channel turned on in the Classe processor?  Are you actually getting some sound out of the center speaker?  I have accidentally had my center channel amp turned off and the sound was similar to what you experienced.  Most of the dialogue/content is put out on the center channel.  If you only have left/right, you may hear some, but it will be VERY quiet.

How did you calibrate the system? 

A good setup is to use AudioTools for SPL and a Dayton imm6 microphone ($25)

Sorry. Let's back up. :)

How are you connecting your Oppo to your Processor? HDMI? SPDIF? multiple analog cables?

Best,

@erik_squires:I calibrated it by using the microphone it comes with the Processor.

I connected the oppo to pro. via coaxial RCA.

I have found that the Oppo sound much better with XLR cables. Are you using a video coaxial cable or a true RCA stereo cable?
