Thanks so far. I used the Axiom calculator to match speakers to room and it's just under 2000 cubic feet. I don't know how to measure db levels but I can have the volume control at +12 to +15 and +17 is full volume. It's loud but you could still have a conversation over it though. Doesn't seem to be any clipping so I'm wondering if the receiver is not set up correctly or has a fault.
Does anyone get a sort of mechanical clank when switching inputs or switching channels when watching TV?
I asked Sherwood about this and they said it was perfectly normal and to use the shortest HDMI leads as I could i.e. 4 feet. Never heard any other receiver making this noise.
Cheers
Tim
