Onkyo 605 - Volume Level - Blu-ray Forum

Azareus · 06-17-2008, 05:04 AM

Just wondering what volume level you guys use to listen to your Blu Rays on your TRX-605.

I've been using 70-73 for the past few months without incident but recently had someone complain about the noise level so I've had to put it down to 60-65. Don't feel that I get the true theater experience with that level though but it could be because I'm half deaf :P

I'm interested to hear what you guys have yours set to.

Usually about 45-50 for video games and 50-60 for movies depending on the title.

between 40 - 55 for games and movies.

...you're either deaf or you have a big room.

Huh, so I guess the 605 and 705 use different methodologies to measure volume. The highest my 705 goes to is +8 and I usually listen to at around -20. Is it just that I haven't changed the settings or something? Damn, sometimes I feel so old and out of it

The 705 must do it in decibels (which is honestly more universal) while the 605 uses a number by default. There may be a way to change it but I haven't really tried.

My 605 was only a numerical jump ie; 0-80 (I think 80 is the highest), for tv I could listen to it around 15-25 (25 being loud), DVD and blu were around 35-40ish. And no, there is no way to change the scale.

Seems like mine is slightly louder than yours then

I'll just have to live with it.
