I would check the set-up menu to see whether you can control the line-out level. The spec's say "sound monitor out" from the unit and you may be able to set that to variable instead of fixed. There's also an optical out - if you have a stereo that takes optical signals, then you can connect your speakers to that and control the volume

gridinoc: Amazing… It reminds me of this modification: http://www.bootleg-objects.com/objects_sound.htm#rebo Yes, the difference being that the Mac/Beocenter 4600 one actually works!

My surround processor automatically detects when a TV-transmission is in 5.1 or stereo and switches accordingly. So I can't say I'm in a fixed mode. It's kind of strange when I channel surf though, as the sound perspective will shift from channel to channel! Jazz or classical is often transmitted in surround today, I always switch those

DTS playback makes sense if your processor and speakers are top-notch and your home theatre is well planned. If speakers and set-up are sub-par, then you won't be able to discern much of a difference between the very adequate Dolby Digital, and the potentially superior DTS format. As we're waiting for the HD format war to play out we can look

tom: Soundproof, it is always very interesting to read your posts, and I have learned a lot from most of them. I am sure what you describe in this post is a great experience, but I am also quite sure, that this is no good at all for your ears. I suffer from a tinitus for 7 years now, and I can only tell everybody in here to take care of their ears!
