Speaker Distortion, set-up problems? (1 Viewer)

[RayHiga]

Hello,
I am having speaker distortion while playing DVDs, before going further this is my equipment list to give you a better understanding of the situation,
DVD Player - Sony D530
Reciever - Kenwood VR 407
Speakers - Kenwood HTB 503 ( home theater in a box)
Subwoofer - Sony WMSA 40
Surge Protector - Monster Cable HTS 700
Speaker Cable Solutions 16 gauge ( no banana connectors or spades)
RCA - Digital TOSlink Optical Cable from DVD - Reciever.
I made all the adjustments manually to the reciever/dvd player, like putting the subwoofer yes, making the front speakers read "normal", etc...
The rest of the set-up is factory setting, (until I get an AVIA disc)
Now to the problem,
- Whenever I watch any DVD movie, if the volume goes past -30db, or at -30db, I hear a slight thumping noise from all speakers, and will continue for each time I press the volume control up like to -29db, 28db and so on.
I have had this problem before and was told to get a surge protector and upgrade the factory speaker wire, but the problem still consists.
Any suggestions, comments or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ray

Could be a bad volume control sending feedback to your speakers. I've played with mixing consoles before that had a shielding or wiring problem with their volume circuitry and got the same kind of noise you are describing.
