Having connected up my new TV (see earlier thread on controlling a Panasonic TV with a Humax controller), I find that the volume on the BBC News channel (231) is much lower than on the other BBC or ITV channels (e.g. 1,2,3,4 etc or their HD equivalents). A minor inconvenience when going from say channel 101 to 231, I just turn up the volume (a lot!), but going from 231 to 101 really blasts out until I turn it down, and I fear it may damage the speakers. I've not investigated too many other channels, but why should this be, and can I do anything to bring the sound levels closer together?
For information, connections are Humax PVR front end, feeding the Panasonic TV via HDMI1; sound output from the TV via the headphone jack into the Pioneer Hi-Fi unit (which gives much better bass than the TV itself, but it is the only link I can make between the TV and the HI-Fi unit, because the latter only has a 3.5mm stereo jack input). It was not a problem with the previous Samsung TV with the same connections set-up.
