Same here. It seems dependent on the output level of the source device. No problem with the Comcast cable box or the Roku, but the Sony Blue Ray player sometimes makes me hit the volume level ceiling. All are connected with HDMI. At first I was wondering if you guys were assuming an amplifier with higher gain than the one I'm using (26db), but it looks like Outlaw amps are all at 28db of gain or less.
