Hi guys
I ve just purchased the pioneer dv990 home theater system and i m really dissapointed.
When I play music cd s it s performance is outstanding and it can blow your ears off, even in the half volume level.
The problem is when when I m playing dvd s.
Even if I set the volume to the max I don t get a decent power not only from
the sub but from the speakers too.
In loud scenes even the explosions are not loud as they supposed to be.
I don t get it.
Why the cd s play so loud even on the half volume?
i ve tried setting the channel levels as high as they can get but no result.
Midnight Listening Mode is off.

It s driving me crazy.
I know that this system is very powerfull because I ve heard it on stereo cds.
But on dvd s i can t hear it s power.
Please help me.
I m really desperated.
 
Make sure its usuing the correct sound encoding, try siwtching through them and find which one sounds the best.
 
thanks for the reply Bubbauk.
I ve tried them all but the problem remains.
Is this problem normal?
I mean
I ve read in some threats that cd s and dvd s use different recording methods so there should be a difference in the volume.
But i believe that the system while playing dvds in double volume should have least the same power with cds.
I m going nuts.
if i buy a dvd player and connect it to the receiver,
will it solve the problem?
Dvd players have volume controls and maby if the dvd player gives more db s to the receiver, it will play louder.
Is this right? :lease:
 
When playing cd's are you using all 5 speakers or only 2 for stereo?
 
I ve tried both
5 ch stereo and normal 2 ch stereo.
same power
The problem is only with dvds.
:suicide:

There shouldn't be that much of a difference. There must be something wrong with it, try calling Pioneer's customer service on Wednesday and see what they say.
 
ok guys
Thanks a lot
I just wanted to know if this is normal
because this is my first surround system and
I ve read somewhere that cds usually sound louder than dvds.
thanks a lot
I ll call pioneers customer service to see what s going on :cool:
 
they ve talled me that this is normal with dvds.
It depents of the dvd.
Some dvds may sound louder.
Oh my god
I m so dissapointed of this system.
It sounds very good and clear but it s power on dvds is for laughters.
Anyway
Thank you guys for your interest. :smashin:
