Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Denon receiver -- Stereo vs. Dolby sources

Hi all,

I have new Epic 60 - VP150 - QS8 - EP500 driven by a Denon 786s. Most of my time is spent watching tv off of a Dish Network HD-DVR.

My problem is, the newer programming has Dolby audio whereas the older stuff just comes through as "stereo". You can't even believe how LOUD the audio is when I switch from a Dolby surround program to one that's in 2 channel. It's outrageous.

Is there any way to adjust the receiver to avoid this? I have to mute the sound whenever I change channels until I see whether the channel I'm switching to is in Dolby or not.

TIA, Eddie
