Did you set up your 5.1 output in the players menu? There, you can adjust levels, and distances. It's the same basic principle as setting up your receiver. The player will send out test tones to each speaker. Using the trusty Radio Shack Analog SPL meter, you set the main volume at reference level ( usually 0 on the dial, ) and adjust the output of each channel to 75db. I usually add 5-10 db on the sub

Of course, this could mean that your receiver has the problem with not properly boosting the LFE input, in which case, you have to set all the levels down 10db to compensate for the bug. If you do a search for LFE bug, you will see there are MANY threads about it/

Good Luck!
