Anyone else notice this?

I recently upgraded my home theatre system including a new audio receiver. Previously, I used the Stereo output on my receiver and audio levels between channels were fine.

I am now using the DVR530's Digital Optical Audio output into my receiver and the volume levels between channels, both HD and SD, are wildly inconsistent. Depending on the channel, I have to raise or lower the volume by 25 or more decibles just so that I can hear it.

This didn't happen with the Stereo output but now happens with the Digital Optical output.

There are bunch of 530's listed on eBay by a liquidator with the following description:

- we do not have the proper equipment to test this item
- Hard Drive spins but the receiver wont power on
- no further testing was done
- hard drive is included
Does anyone want to offer a prognosis on its repairability?

I have never touched the 530 - when I went HD a friend of mine who works for Starchoice told me the 530 was just plain garbage and to stay away.

My parents want a PVR but I can't stomach paying much of anything for a 530 for them.
