Are any other inputs available to try? Could you temporarily free up a more conventional audio input just to experiment to see if you get the same results?
I too am thinking that the receiver is just expecting that it should be getting a much stronger signal, as it would via a CD or DVD player verses the headphone out jack of an MP3 player which is almost always very weak. For instance, I must crank my MP3 player to 90% and turn my car deck up louder as well in order to play the Zune in my Jeep.
I have no experience with headphone amplifiers but some here do. How much boost can they provide and might adding one inline between the MP3 player and the receiver help him out?
