Ysim, I remember your original post about the damaged C802 you received. Did you ever have it serviced? Sounds very similar to the original problem you described a month ago.
Help Chiro C-802, volume too small.....
I Bought a used Chiro C-802 with AC3, DTS & Tuner built in. I hooked it to Threshold S/1000, 500 watts mono power amps & ATI 1506 bridged for 3ch/450 watts with Genesis APM1 & 750 speaker system. But C802 produces a very little sound level on all source. Please see the comparison between Mcintosh C-39 & Chiro C-802. Both have digital display scale 1 to 99.
At level 10,
C39, decent, comfortable sound / C802, no sound.
At level 20,
C39, somewhat loud, comfortable sound / C802, no sound.
At level 30,
C39, almost too loud sound / C802, very little sound.
C802 has to be driven to over 80 for good comfortable sound.
I never tried to drive C39 to over 40 cuz it's too loud.
Please help.
