I received a Time Warner SA-3250-HD Cable tuner box about

1 1/2 years ago.... Had the same 'Variable Audio Loudness'

Problem up front... Got a tip from a local "home Theater"

dealer to Solve this Problem:

On the hand held remote: Hit settings
Hit more settings
Pan to: Audio Volume Control
Select FIXED, not Variable
My loud & quiet volume has worked perfect since.....

I have an SA-3250 (HD) box and have noticed the same symptom; however, to be
fair, I also noted this on the previous Motorola box. I know that Time
Warner can affect the volume levels within a given signal distribution area
by adjusting their amplifiers. I've discussed this with them, and had
channels adjusted. They'll get it fixed...and then as time passes and techs
replace or upgrade equipment...the problems tend to show up again.

Hope this is useful...seems we're all in a similar situation.
