Now another question:
I do have a high end receiver -- Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX. Since getting the Pace box I have noticed that if I set the sound volume on (this is just a means of explaining) sound level 20 --
If I switch to Digital input, the sound is at a considerable lower volume than the regular Analog Audio -- lets say in my example I would have to raise the sound level to 15 to achieve close to the same volume level.
I never experienced this before with the previous box -- am I missing something?
Its an annoyance factor more than a problem - and besides still trying to learn all this 'stuff"
Checked all my connections and inputs - and can't see what could have changed. The 5.1 surround from the regular channels is just more 'muted' - for lack of better terminology.

Well, first of all every time you change channels, you will find that there is a volume change (this was true of the old SA box as well). If I understand your post, you are using two cables (like you had to do with the SA box) one digital and one analogue. You don't need two cables. The digital cable will give its superior sound on all the analogue channels as well. BTW I have Elite VSX55TXi and VSX-53TX receivers with the Pace Boxes, so I do have some experience in the matter. Hope that helps.
