Okay, So This is the Essential Issue With Regard to, Again, ONKYO Receiver Owners....

[Lexmark3200]

"Huh? That statement completely contridicts itself."

Okay: I didnt make this clear because your wording set me up for this; I wanted to know, SIMPLY, from other Onkyo receiver product owners past or present, if it seemed NORMAL to need the volume display to read beyond "50" in order to really feel like the receiver was "kicking in" or "warming up", but you address this below:


"If you will recall, I had your same receiver a few years back. I do remember having the volume set to similiar levels. Seems like DVD's were about 45 to 50 on average, can't remember in regard to what sound formats. I think cable viewing was around the low 30 mark or so. I think. My Yamaha has the same behavior and my even older Onkyo did the same as well"

THESE are the kinds of things I wanted to know; thank you. So it seems normal that I need to watch DVDs ON AVERAGE from 45 to 50? I do no cable watching through this receiver, so its only DVD......but thank you for sharing this information with me.

To take it a step further, 50 on my receiver may produce a completely different SPL than 50 on your receiver. Your 50 may result in my ears bleeding and my 50 may be barely audible to you. It's just a number on a scale. That's why the actual number diplayed is arbitrary. There are many factors that can effect this. Room acoustics, speakers, sources, sound formats, processing, etc. Everyone's is different. That's why someone's answer to your questions really has zero bearing on your sound environment.

I UNDERSTAND this.....I just wanted to know if was "seemingly normal" to need to bring an Onkyo receiver --- ANY Onkyo receiver --- beyond the "50" mark to get some good sound out of it.....you know, I am not the ONLY one who discusses this issue; owners of the TX-SR600 and other models of its vintage, discuss this VOLUME DISPLAY ISSUE all the time on sites like cnet.com, where owners review their gear and such; I was just hoping someone in here would have more insight on whether or not this was normal, but I guess that is not going to happen.

Thank you for your time, as you see I speak with a civil tongue in my mouth.

Sincerely Yours.

Along with ebay you can also try selling it on Audiogon.com. Another idea is to keep it in your bedroom as a secondary HT setup. Man, 50 is waaaaaay to high for any volume control to be. When I had an Onkyo my ears started bleeding at, anyway, you get the point.

Nick, Im not selling my SR600, nor do I have a bedroom situation right now to warrant a HT setup.....but finish what you were saying please......when YOU had YOUR Onkyo, your ears started bleeding at a much lower volume than 50? This was the SR600?

OK Lex, I will give you some quality advise if you tell me how old you really are.

[nick250]

I am curious why folks are feeding the troll. Perhaps it is for entertainment. BTW my guess of his age is 13 to 15. I don't suppose he will ever admit it to his actual age so the point may be mute. I do admit I check in from time to time to see how the thread is going. It's kind of like watching a house on fire and you can't stop watching. I would not respond to any of his posts anymore because he seems incapable of processing good advice or appreciate all the time members of this forum have spent trying to help him.

IMHO, YMMV yadda yadda

"OK Lex, I will give you some quality advise if you tell me how old you really are."

YOU are asking ME how old I am and YOU are spelling "advice" by typing out "ADVISE"?

LOL....LOL......

"I UNDERSTAND this....."

Actually, it's apparent from your questions and responses, you don't understand this. If you did, you would have no need to even ask the question or continue to dwell on it.

" I was just hoping someone in here would have more insight on whether or not this was normal, but I guess that is not going to happen."

I thought I did?

[Lexmark3200]

"Actually, it's apparent from your questions and responses, you don't understand this. If you did, you would have no need to even ask the question or continue to dwell on it."

ACTUALLY, from your reply below, which is UNTRUE because you hadnt answered the question of where the volume display number should essentially BE for hitting room-filling sound, or, rather, my question directed STRICTLY toward Onkyo receiver owners and if they are getting the same "results" as me with their displays, you dont seem to be getting what Im asking......

"I thought I did?"

Nope.

[JSE]

"ACTUALLY, from your reply below, which is UNTRUE because you hadnt answered the question of where the volume display number should essentially BE for hitting room-filling sound"

Yep, you have no clue. No one and I mean NO ONE can answer your question until they come to your mommy and daddy's house and actually turn the volume up themself. I really feel sorry for you now. I actually took the time to try and help thinking maybe since you have been bahaving since your recent return you might actually listen to the advise given to you. But no, you are still the same old TLADINY/Lexmark3200/John Baresford you used to be. Same person who can't deal with life around him so he finds happiness and a false sense of self worth by posting on this forum. It's really sad.

" or, rather, my question directed STRICTLY toward Onkyo receiver owners and if they are getting the same "results" as me with their displays, you dont seem to be getting what Im asking......

"I thought I did?"

Nope"

Actually I did get it and gave you a specific correct answer to your question. But by accepting my answer or even acknowledging it means you can't continue to troll for a conflict or that false sense of self worth I mentioned above. So, I'm done.

Go with Nick's advise. At least he did not get dupped by your old ways. Man, I'm getting soft. In the old days, I would have ripped you a new one from post #1. Well good news, I'm back, your still a liar (truth is a defense) and no one gives a crap about you, except for some newer members that have not gotten to "know you" yet. Like I said, give them time.

Have a nice day.

JSEeeeeeee!

Opens door and peeks in again.....they have run out of furniture glass and babies and now are throwing food, and dishes. ducks, covers head, thumbs his nose at everyone and says..." I see there is no love in the house".."come on gentlemen, let's sing a verse and a chorus of Kum ba Ya"........

[Lexmark3200]

"Yep, you have no clue."

Because an ******* on an internet board LIKE YOU says so? Why is that?

"No one and I mean NO ONE can answer your question until they come to your mommy and daddy's house and actually turn the volume up themself. I really feel sorry for you now.

What the **** are you TALKING about? If theres anyone who is sad, it is YOU and your buddies who come in here to simply chase away the new membership that arrives daily with your flaming of others and constant nonsesne like you post above; I feel sorry for YOU.


"Actually I did get it and gave you a specific correct answer to your question. But by accepting my answer or even acknowledging it means you can't continue to troll for a conflict or that false sense of self worth I mentioned above. So, I'm done."

THATS NOT WHY I ANSWERED IT.....and your continuing replies to me in this context PROVE TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS TO SIMPLY HARASS me --- and probably countless others; just LOOK at your replies and how you bait people in......and your buddy up there says that Im the one in my underwear behind a computer screen on internet boards?? And what of YOU guys? Surfing all day, harrasing those who dont live up to your "sarcastic standards"......be done all you want; I dont need to hear from you anyway.

"Go with Nick's advise. At least he did not get dupped by your old ways. Man, I'm getting soft. In the old days, I would have ripped you a new one from post #1."

Dude, you're ripping no one a new ass, believe me.....I'll go the distance no matter HOW far you wanna take it --- and I mean hand to hand combat if you wanna do that as well.....getting soft? Man, I can tell you ARE soft....in alot of ways.....


"Well good news, I'm back, your still a liar (truth is a defense) and no one gives a crap about you, except for some newer members that have not gotten to "know you" yet. Like I said, give them time. "

SO YOU DO ADMIT THAT PEOPLE JOIN THIS BOARD TO BE OVERTLY AGGRESSIVE AND HARASS PEOPLE ---- THATS I WANT KNOWN AND IN WRITING......the new members we are speaking of are, and I am guessing, far from massive dickheads like you and your friends in here.........you're back? Big deal.....I dont even know what that MEANS let anone GIVE A **** about that threat......Im a liar? Not even in your wildest childhood oriented fantasies, my friend.

"Have a nice day. "

Oh, now that I got that off my chest, I sure will.......you too, *******......
