Hi everyone, I got a question for you experts out there.

When I listen to the radio or a cd on my Beocenter 2 I can turn up the volume to ± 60. The BL8000 sound then very loud. But when I watch a dvd and turn on the speakers I have to turn up the volume of the BL8000 to ± 54/56 and they do not sound very loud at all.

Is this normal or do I need a different setting or something?

Set up: Beocenter 2, 2x BL8000, MX7000.

 PS. I can listen to the MX7000 over the BL8000 but not listen to a cd or radio over the MX7000. Do not know if this is important information??

Hi Conan,

which DVD player are you using?
The sympton you described may depend on the output level of the DVD player you are using. I suffer from the same problem: When watching DVDs, I have to turn up volume by three "clicks" to obtain the same volume as when watching TV or listening to music. However playing a CD in the same player does not require this correction. So I assume that it may also depend on the recording of each individual disk or the player is delivering different output signals depending on the media type.

How is your MX7000 connected? Datalink (AUX)?

What input do you select on the Beocenter 2 to listen to the TV? 

Did you ever try the sequence "AV CD" to hear the CD sound through the TV?

Hi Hage, I use the beocenter 2 dvd.

You asked me how everything is connected and I have to be honoust, I do not know, I bought everything and I got it all installed by the people from the shop. I am afraid this does not help you at all, sorry.

Movies are generally quieter overall than music as they have a larger dynamic range (the difference between the loudest sound and the quietest sound), the idea being loud moments (gunshots, explosions etc...) can make the viewers jump out of their seats.
