Hi,
I just got a Denon 3803 and, finally, for the first time, listened to both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS in my home. (What an experience!)
But I have a question I hope some of you more knowledgable HT owners can help me with:
When I switched from DD to DTS on the receiver, I was taken aback by the unexpected volume increase in the system. It was so loud my mom gave me a little lecture. I was at about -10 db while listening on the DD format, but when I switched to DTS, the volume got significantly louder. I was even afraid I might have blown my speakers.
Anyways, is this "normal" when switching from format to format? Is this caused by different recording levels on various DVD's?
What's the best way for me to not get "surprised" like this anymore.
Well, any help with this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
