Onkyo HT-S3900 problems (1 Viewer)

[Aberk81]

Sometimes when i watch an action scene on loud volume, the center speaker keeps turning down on me. Like... it doesn't mute. But it keeps doing that. Any fix please?

Does it come back by itself when the scene gets quieter? How do you get it back?

Yeah, it does.

Sounds like you may have the “Night Cinema” mode engaged. It basically adds compression to bring down the peaks in volume.

Well, i tried and still got the same problem...

It’s a fairly-low powered system. If you’re playing it really loud it’s probably just running out of steam.

Here's some movies and shows so far that keeps having this issue

Heat (Laserdisc, Dolby Digital)
Rambo 4 (DVD, Dolby Surround 2.0 mix)
L.A Heat episode Strange Currencies (Prime Video)
Face/Off (Special Collector's Edition DVD, Dolby Digital/DTS)
Point Break (Enhanced Widescreen Edition 2001 DVD, Dolby Digital/DTS)

Play the same scenes with the volume turned down and see if it still does it.

 

[Aberk81]

Actually... even with that... it still does it...

 

[Aberk81]

Before you ask, yes... I did got all speakers hooked up correctly and this issue does not happen with my other receivers i had.

 

[JohnRice]

...no idea what’s going on.

 

[Aberk81]

Yeah, me either. But does anyone have the same problem too? If so... how do you fix that?
