Bruce,
I don't know anything about Denon recievers, but it seems to me that for a reciever in that class there would be independent volume trim levels for the various inputs. (this one is going to get tossed right back to Ray, right?)
Have you checked those to see if whatever input you are using has somehow had it's trim level set lower than others?
Just a thought.
