I have an Onkyo 600 receiver and my volume controls are graduated from 0-100 (Not with a minus or plus scale in relation to 0 that some receivers use). I have calibrated my system so that 75 on my volume control is reference (just a coincidence that I used DVE and 75db is there recorded level for calibration). I enjoy reading posts that talk about what Db level in relation to reference is preferred by HTF members watch certain movies at. Is it safe to assume that if I am listening at 60, that I am 15 db below reference, or are these numbers irrelevent with this type of volume graduation.
Also, is there a post somewhere that compares the more popular movies recorded volume level. It would be nice to have a standard, but I know this is not the case. (Attack of the Clones and U571 are recorded much louder than The Phantom Menace and the Matrix for example). If there is not such a list, is there a way to test this using an SPL meter so that I can develop my own list.
Thanks
Greg
