ekbriggs Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 To any that have Hk amps/recievers with their Klipsch speakers: 1. What do you set your volume on in relation to your room and movie choices? 2. hey moon i noticed that you have your dvd-50 on top of your AVR-7200, do you have any problems with your amp getting too hot (i know my 525 runs a bit warmer than my old 2095 yamaha...not sure if that is because it is working harder with all RF-3's or if thats the nature of Hk pieces in general) 3. lastly, (moon you might know this right off), in the osd setting of my 525 there is a setting titled "default volume" and mine is set to (-25). What is the default volume? What should it be set on? Does it make any difference? I tried to find something in the owners manual with a quick glance but came up empty handed thus i turn to the more knowledgeable for help. Thanks to all that reply with answers to what might be trivial questions. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancestorm Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I vary the volume for music from about -40 all the way down to -5 when I really want to party. For 5 channel movie (Dolby II) I usually go around -10. I have noticed that HK's seem to run warmer than other receivers, make sure to give that 525 plenty of breathing room. I wouldn't place anything on top of it just because i'm a worry-wart about electronics in general... When I had the 525 I do remember the default volume being set to -25, although everytime I turned on my unit it was at -80 which is the volume I set whenever I turned it off..

Depends most importantly on what you have Dolby reference set to; I calibrated Dolby reference at -10dB on my HK. Generally though I play CD's anywhere from -20 to -30dB (some inherently recorded hotter than others) and 5.1 DVD's from -15 to -25dB. ---------------- 3. lastly, (moon you might know this right off), in the osd setting of my 525 there is a setting titled "default volume" and mine is set to (-25).

I think I set the "CD" source for -40dB, so when someone listens to music at -20dB and then turns the receiver off, and I come in later and turn it back on, the volume should default to -40dB instead of -20dB like it was last played at. I think that is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekbriggs Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Ahhh i get it now (the default volume setting that is). Good to hear that i am not the only one who likes to get this unit running hot. Also lancestorm, how do you like the 630 vs. your old 525...any noticeable differences other than the asthetic standpoint? -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
