Whoa new feature - PS3 +- volume for audio - Blu-ray Forum

Entertainment72 · 07-06-2008, 07:09 PM

I didn't realize this, was playing some MP3's on an SD card and discovered the +- volume feature.. well I cranked it up from the PS3 +2

, my new Pioneer Elite 92 seemed to have gotten another 50 watts a channel..

.

This hunk of plastic is truly magical.

I think that this was there before.

Just be careful because when i've cranked this up it has actually distorted the sound on some songs. Took me forever to find it out.

Have a look here http://community.eu.playstation.com/....id=7084#M7084

Entertainment72 · 07-06-2008, 07:29 PM

Thats cool, just be careful. If you start hearing clipping on your speakers or any distortion at all try turning the option to normal and see if is still there. Don't want you damaging your speakers mate.

turning it up to +1 or +2 causes heavy distortion on my system. i leave it on normal

Blu Jacket · 07-06-2008, 09:08 PM

I'm pretty sure I remember this feature being on the PS2 even.

STARSCREAM · 07-06-2008, 09:30 PM

It is recommended to leave at NORMAL setting. If you need more volume then crank up your receiver volume.

CYMBOL · 07-06-2008, 10:19 PM

If you want to improve the sound of your MP3/CDs - I suggest changing the "type" setting under the music settings. I have mine set to "Type 3" - I like the sound much better.

(I find the volume control is not too helpful due to distortion at higher levels.)

Driver_King · 07-07-2008, 03:13 AM

I saw that feature on my PS3 on Launch Day.

I keep it on normal just to be safe though.

EidolonAlpha · 07-07-2008, 03:18 AM

If you have a high quality amp and speakers +1 or +2 should play fine without causing distortation from the speakers... I leave mine at +1...

Havok83 · 07-07-2008, 09:06 AM

was that added with 2.40? If so finally! I always have to crank up the volume when I play my PS3

mgrimsley · 07-07-2008, 09:56 AM

can anyone tell me where the volume setting/option is pls ?

AM-MAN · 07-07-2008, 10:33 AM

press triangle during watching whatever u r watching

XSilentCobraX · 07-07-2008, 11:13 AM

Yeah i whould also leave it on Normal, it will distortion if you have it on +1 +2, especially when theres alot of LFE or bass..

I have mine already set to type 3, with no distortion to speak of.. I don't think I have it loud enough to hear any distortion as of yet. (Pioneer 92 volume -25 PS3 +2) / I'll play around with it.. just suprised about this feature as I never knew it existed.
