VHS/DVD audio problems

[Mekkins]

Ever since I bought my first VHS/DVD player I've had trouble with the DVD sound not being loud enough. My TV audio control goes from 1 to 100 and once I hit about 35 or 40 the sound gets no louder. The VHS player does not have this problem, just the DVD. After I replaced my mother's TV this past Xmas, she had the same problem so I'm guessing, at least in her case, it's the TV causing the problem. Watching TV or a videotape, no problem. Put in a DVD, and the audio will only get so loud and no louder. I initially used a coax cable between the TV and the player until someone suggested I try the AV cable with the red/white/yellow connectors, but that didn't help the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if it's "nature of the beast" kinda thing or in fact there may be something wrong with the unit?---Make sure there is not some sort of menu settings in the DVD player audio section to reduce the output?

I know for a fact that SOME of these combo players utilized a setting in menu to "soften" the DVD audio due to the much higher dynamic range>>your unit MAY or MAY not have such a setting?

I've pretty well checked all the menu options for the player and the TV. I haven't seen anything that looked as if it would solve the problem but I'll check again. Thanks.

Have you tried putting the tv in "audio" mode? Your tv is probably in cable/antenna mode.
