| | The old 2700/3900 receivers had this.. And it was a real pain.. I would go in a customers house to do service and when I turned off the box the TV would almost blow the speakers because the customer had the box volume way down and the TV volume WAY up.. The only reason that Dish had this feature back then was because a lot of TVs didn't have remote control back then. Now it is an unneeded feature..

| | If your receiver (722) did have its own volume control, you would then need some device to measure the pre amp signal you are messing with at the 722. If it's not high enough you lose frequencies at your amp, laptop, or what ever. If too high you will get distortion. The preamp signal you are getting now is designed to feed what ever type of amplifier you are using just right. Make sense. |

Hell why let it change the channels then? Shouldn't it be the AV device that does that too? Sounds like a bug to me.. But then again, what do I know.. | You are the exception to the general rule. Think about how many people would be calling in asking I have my TV (AV receiver) turned all the way up but I can hear anything. Then the CSR's would be going thru all kinds of stuff over the phone and not get to the is the volume turned down on the receiver. Another thing is how many people would be wondering why the recording they just made has no volume. See the receiver outputs the volume to several outputs at one time. turn down the volume to the TV then the volume to the DVD recorder would go down. Just think about that.  |

| | | Buy a cheap surround sound system and set it up.
It will probably have better audio than your PC anyway.

It isn't as if there are bare speaker cable outputs on Satellite/Cable receivers. I see very very few cases where this would be necessary at all.

| | | The point is that it should at least be an option. Not that you have to make it the default option but an option none the less. I've had to send that sucker back. Plain and simple. Doesn't do what I need it to do without spending more money on some stuff I don't need or want. So thanks for all the input and good luck to everyone. Maybe I'll try again in a few years.. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
