Hello,

I recently installed a Sony HT-DDW900 5.1 system in my home. I have Cablevision Digital cable through a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4200HD, using the digital coax out into the DDW900 receiver. The problem I am having is the change in volume levels between different channels. I will adjust the volume for one channel, then when I change to a different channel, the volume will be louder or softer. It's as if there is no normalization of the volume going on.

I also have the same Scientific Atlanta 4200HD box downstairs connected by digital coax out to a Yamaha RX-V495 receiver and KLH 5.1 speakers with an Optimus 100W powered subwoofer. I do not notice a fluctuation in the volume level when watching TV on this setup. Can anyone tell me how to normalize the volume through the Sony? Thanks!

Unfortunately I do not have any experience with that kind of problem. Have you tried switching the cable boxes between your two systems to ensure that its not the actual hd cable box that is defective?
