If you have a device inputting to your TV (eg. foxtel, dvd player) which
has its volume control , what do you set the volume for that device and the
TV?

What is the answer to this perrenial question?

Obviously you set the device to its maximum volume and adjust your TV
(or stereo system)'s volume. This generally means that if you switch
devices you don't get horrible changes in level.

Maximum for the device and as desired for the TV.

You should set the Foxtel box level so that FTA channels through Foxtel have the same volume as the same channels
through the TV's tuner, which will minimise the need to change the TV volume when changing the TV's input source.

Slightly tangential, but for the first time I've seen a volume smoothing device at Dick Smith Electronics. Just what's needed for those manically loud commercials on high rotation, especially from Harvey Norman & Domain - who should be fined heavily for noise pollution and psychological terrorism.

It's just a small box.

If all internal levels have been done right, that ought to be max on the Foxtel
box.
