Iceman Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 10/13/05 Posts: 3 Loc: Colorado	I would love to see Dolby Volume , or something with the same functionality added. I've seen this demo'd and it works great controlling the volume of the obnoxiously loud TV commercials.

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	Just for that feature it would be worth it. Is there any other way to limit the LOUDNESS of commercials. It is a real source of irritation and I find myself not watching network TV because of it. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

Ender Gunslinger Registered: 05/19/05 Posts: 24 Loc: NY	You mean to tell me the 997 does not not have Dolby Volume? Outlaw you be get cracking on that soon, because a lot people will expect it to be a feature, even the upcoming low base model emotiva pre amp will have it, what gives?

Virtio Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 2	I heard a demo of Dolby Volume at CES and was really impressed. I consider it a "must-have" for my next pre-pro so I sure hope they put it in the 997 otherwise it's off my list.

Gotta wonder what this will do to lossless, if anything. Wonder if compression. WIll be interesting. Shouldn't be of interest for audiophile-listening. Should be good for TV, though.

Retep Gunslinger Registered: 01/19/06 Posts: 266 Loc: Tauranga, New Zealand	I will be surprised if we get Dolby Volume since it came later in the game. It would be a great addition. Can't stand the loud commercials with some programming.

It has Dolby Volume. I bought my father the Onkyo 885. I really like the sound quality, but there are a couple niggles. The first is that all inputs/outputs are either scaled our passed through. I would have preferred this to be input selectable. The second is Audyssey turned out not to be that special, IMO. I just didn't like the results and I tried many times, but it just wasn't for me.
