Low audio on HR21

[timmypop]

Has anyone else had issues with the analog audio output being low? I have them run to an amp, but my other sources play super loud when I have to crank the volume up to watch TVs.

Is there something I can do to boost the output before it gets to my amp? I hope to make the sources more equal.

What output are you running the audio?

My HDMI connection out of the HR21-700 seems to work fine.

..."with the analog audio output being low..."

Thanks.

Does your receiver have optical inputs? I have a crappy Sony in my basement collecting dust that has optical. That would be your best route (digital) since it sounds like you do not have HDMI. If not - try changing the Audio options in the menu. Switch between DD on and off. See if that makes a difference.

The analog output on mine appears to be normal.

What I have noticed is that the audio on HD channels appears to be lower than the audio on SD channels. This is through an HDMI connector directly to my TV. Its especially noticeable if you switch between the HD and SD version of the same channel.

Press the volume up key.
Repeat as needed.

Sorry, I could not resist.

Is this problem evident on SD channels as well as HD channels? If not, look to berck's answer. If so, you might try doing battle for a new receiver from DIRECTV. It is not adjustable.
