No, the Sony BD players have no way of adjusting the volume levels of the different channels connected to the analog outputs. Maybe they expect it to be done by the receiver?

The Samsung players do have some adjustment, but it's not as thorough as the Panasonic players'.

The Samsung BD-P2500 and the Panasonic DMP-BD55 are both nice players, but they cost $400 right now, with no discounts available at Circuit City or Best Buy. The shelves there are lean with BD players right now. The sales staffs are all claiming there's a nation-wide shortage as a result of Christmas sales. Just as an example, the Samsung BD-P1500 that my daughter-in-law bought at Circuit City a week before Christmas for $200 was returned by me two days ago. It's now an open-box item on sale at that same store for $260, and it's the only 1500 they've got!

Always the bargain hunter, I found some older models like the Samsung 1400, open-box and on sale for $250 at Best Buy. And then there's the Panny 50. But guess what, even if I could get one of them for the $200 that was paid for my Sony, they don't do internal decoding of the TrueHD and DTS-HD formats.

I came home this afternoon and spent a couple hours experimenting. I've installed 21 kiloohm resistors in line with the front left and front right analog cables connecting the BD player with the receiver. By my ear, I've got 'em balanced pretty good. Tomorrow I'll have the opportunity to do some listening. I've got BD movies with the different audio formats and the whole day to myself. What a life!
