Author Topic: Blu-ray volume - DMA8plus/CP650 Andreas Borman Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Zwolle, Overijssel, The Netherlands Registered: Aug 2015 posted 09-29-2016 09:23 AM                     Hi guys, Anyone tried playing Blu-ray disks and found a way to get sufficient volume level? Compared to playing DCP the level is so low that setting the CP650 to level 10 is not nearly sufficient. I'm using the digital coax AES3 input on the Dolby DMA8plus. I've tried connecting the analog stereo output signal from the blu-ray as a non-sync input on the CP650 too. Also low levels. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-29-2016 10:45 PM                        The best solution is to convert a movie from a disk into a DCP using software such as MakeMKV and DCP-O-Matic - that way you can adjust the volume if necessary. I've found that it's usually necessary to adjust it DOWN by a DB or two, to avoid clipping the theater sound system during playback.  |  IP: Logged
