I have recently upgraded my setup from BV 7-40 MKII to BV 7-40 MKIII, and after that upgrade I often find myself listening to music at a sound level between 70 and 80 and sometimes almost at 90.
As far as I recall, when I in the past got to 80, the sound pressure was enormous (in the past I had never reached 90, I think that would have knocked down the walls) .
Does anyone have the same problem? And what can I do to fix it?
My setup is BV7-40 MKIII, BL5, BS/BM5, my BL5 is connected with digital cables to my BM5 and with powerlink to my BV. I have tried to play CD from my BV, with the same result.
Thank you in advance.

Sound level on BV 7-40 MKII vs. MKIII

Hi Lorup,
I can confirm that I too noticed a difference in sound volume when switching from BV7-40 Mark II to Mark III. I cannot explain it. I also notice that if I switch from Sky TV to the 7-40 DVBT then the volume almost doubles in terms of loudness! Crazy. These BangVisions certainly do have some strange behaviours!

PS Yesterday I got a green screen while watching a movie!
I have just tried to switch between all the sources, analog TV signals, DVBT, DVD, N.MUSIC, N.RADIO and all sources has the same sound level. I’m pretty sure that my TV has the latest software, BeoMaster 5 is a option in the configuration when I’m configuring the PC input on my BV.
I think the volume is a bit too low, sometimes I like to feel the music ;-)

I just tried to switch on my XBox and then the volume is back as in the “old” days with MKII
I had green screen problems with bad scart and hdmi cables. Whiggle the plug on both ends and see if you get picture problems. i even had that with quite expensiv cables with such problems. maybe some people can give suggestions on good brands that work well.
We have a MKIII and while I can not compare the volume to a MKII, I do feal that we must turn the volume up pretty high, around 60 for TV and movies. This seems much higher than we need to with our Avant. I
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the mk2 go up to 72 while the mk3 goes up to 90?
The variable sound issue was resolved with sw 5.xx. I noticed the same thing, until sw 5 was installed in November. Now there is little difference between HD and SD channels or between Sky and Freeview. There used to be a big difference between HD channels and SD, before sw. You had to up the volume by 10 levels to listen effectively.
I’m pretty sure that the MKII goes to 90 also
My software version is 5.04a.
Is there a separate service menu for BS3? other then Menu > 0 > 0 > GO?
