I have a problem with my DVD volume, HELP ME!

I just watched Urban Legends: Final Cut, but I cant hardly hear it! What Audio options do i need on??? I have a Daewoo TV...PLEASE HELP ME!

Ya, I get the same thing. Games sound fine but DVDs are really low. Anyone got an idea why?

Sorry I\'m hitting on this quickly... I go through the motions w/o really paying attention to what I\'m doing on the PS2, but you should get the idea...

Press your Select button on the gamepad.  

Now with all those options/icons displayed, highlight the one that is related to SETUP menu.  

Now press the RIGHT D-PAD until you highlight AUDIO SETUP.  

Now Highlight the AUDIO DIGITAL OUT feature, press the RIGHT D-PAD to Highlight DIGITAL OUT(OPTICAL) and turn it OFF.  

Now press the LEFT D-PAD until you have Highlighted the AUDIO DIGITAL OUT again.  

Now press the DOWN D-PAD until DVD VOLUME is Highlighted.  Press the RIGHT D-PAD and select the +2 and you will be all set.  

Get out of the options/icon features by pressing SELECT again a few times and you\'ll find your volume to be much improved.  

For whatever reason, I\'ve found I have to do this every once in awhile.  Isn\'t always due to unplugging unit from wall either.  Regardless, these are the procedures that\'ll have you listening to movies much better on your PS2.  Too bad Sony hosed up on this particular thing.  Kinda sucks that you gotta go around your elbow to get to your thumb just to listen to a DVD movie...

That\'s a little unfair there.  The PS2 has the digital out for a reason and all because your TV or sound system doesn\'t support it, doesn\'t mean Sony should get the bad rap for it.  It\'s an entertainment machine designed specifically for high end equipment, so the digital out is the default option and Sony making it that way is hardly at fault.  In any case, if you don\'t like setting this option all the time, simply leave your PS2 in the standby position.  It is perfectly safe to do so and the system will not overheat.  Why people turn it off and on through the switch is odd to me especially since Sony RECOMMENDS leaving it int he stand-by position if you\'ll play it within a 48 hour time period.

I don\'t know if I agree Ryu.  Offering a high-end *feature* such as digital-out, does not equate to a unit being designed specifically for high end equipment.  The [basic] fact of the matter is that 90+% of US households do NOT likely have digital-out capabilities in their typical entertainment equipment.  As such, (although Sony can tout itself as "cutting-edge" all day long if it wishes) I believe that a default setting should reflect the majority of users, not the minority.

And you aren\'t allowed to get me wrong here, I support Sony in a large way.  I even own a good bit of Sony stock.  But believing in a company, and seeing a design effort not being effective for a vast majority of users are two different things.  I hope you appreciate that my views do not reflect a dislike for Sony.  Thanks.

THe Digital out always sounds lower in volume.  If you are using the RCA audio then just turn the DIgital audio off like said before.  Although you don\'t get stereo rears or seperate subwoofer output.  

Just don\'t watch DVDs on your PS2 and all is well.

Not in the slightest.  You can argue that such a feature should reflect the majority of users, but case in point, it doesn\'t, same with their choice to fully support braodband users, the vast minority, instead of 56k users, the vast majority.  It\'s a judgement call and to get the most out of your system, the parts that were included with the ps2, should be put to good use.  It\'s not a good or bad call on Sony\'s part, but if some moron thinks the volume is too low on their brand new piece of equipment, their going to blame their dated TV and buy surround Sound with optical out to fix the issue ratehr then reading the manual and since it\'s a Sony system, why not buy Sony surround sound?  Heh, it\'s a beautiful ploy that really has no such marketing setbacks except for people complaining, which costs nothing to Sony at all.
