Problem - Gain out of my cable box to my Processor

Same issue with Comcast and my Scientific Atlanta HD Box. I suppose you could set the volume to variable and turn it up for a particular movie/show you are watching but would suggest turning it back to fixed after that.

I have Comcast and the same problem.
In the set up menu you can adjust for high compression, light compression or no compression, but no volume level.

I have Verizon FIOS and it has both Compression as well as fixed/variable volume output. I previously had COMCAST but that was a long time ago and I don't recall what my setup options were. I believe there are devices that will level volume outputs for all channels, but I think they cost a couple hundred $s and it ticks me off the service providers won't do this w/i their systems.

Nick778, My Comcast (Motorola HD DVR box) will not allow any volume adjustments.

The 565 if I remember correctly has input sensivity ajustment from 1 volt to 3 volts for every input indepently. It should be in the manual.

Thank you all for your thoughts. I did change the volume output to fixed on the Comcast (Samsung) box. Meridian does allow you to adjusts your inputs via a gain adjustment to make them all approximately the same, but this only works on the analog inputs, not on the digital or optical.
I will look into the compression adjustment, that is a new one for me.
Strangely I have to put the volume up over 3/4 on a 200 watt amp to get a barley decent sound level on regular TV.
Maybe newer equipment is set up to accommodate this?
