GREAT NEWS!

Honestly the nearly infinite number of setting that the different digital devices deliver to the rest of the audio chain is DIZZYING and the negative effects of how some output format buried three pages deep in poorly thought out menus is infuriating.

Just because HDMI has made "physical connection layer" harder to get wrong the various setup items that manufacturers have "baked in" are still far from "goof proof". I wonder how many installation done by "certified installers" have various settings delivering sub-optimal sound / video???

I am using the 975 in stereo mode. After talking with Scott the output level issue with the Sony Blueray player was solved by changing the Sony audio output mode from Dolby to PCM. In my testing on a DVD and a Blueray disc the volume level I was getting at 0db is now available at about -10db, which should give us sufficient headroom. On my system I consider the problem solved.
