volume question CD versus FM radio


Hi, I played my sony carousel  CD player today thru my OUTLAW RS 2160. I had to turn the volume much higher to hear the CDs compared to listening to the FM radio. What gives ? Regards

Either one or both of two things going on. If the tuner level is higher then it will always be like that, unless your CDP has variable output and you are able to turn it up to where they match. Or it could be FM is compressed so much this has the same effect, of making FM output higher. More than likely there is a little of both going on.
