SUB-WOOFER RECOMMENDS


Just got this AV receiver and I am noticing that I have to turn the volume up really high like (70-80 on the volume indicator) to get reasonable loudness.

Prior to this I had a 10 year old Yamaha receiver and it cranked at around 33.

Am I doing something wrong? I am running a 5.1 speaker system using all CM1's. I only used 3 CM1's with my Yamaha. The Marantz claims to have 200 watts so there should be plenty of juice there!

Thinking I might want to return this if this is the case! I need more power!
thx-333
I have a Marantz SR5009 and operate it at 70-80 all the time. Why do you think the volume control on the Yamaha is comparable?
Sorry about the thread heading. Not sure how that got interchanged. Anyway… yes I am using the online manual. I might not be doing something right cuz some of these settings aren't available to me. Or I am having trouble accessing them.
Use the SETTINGS menu...LIMIT adjusts max volume (in dB). Also adjust the surround sound, are you using the online user manual? It's the Marantz SR5010, right?
