I've just bought a new Humax HDR2000T and connected it to a Sony Bravia TV. The HD channels are fine but the SD channels have hardly any sound and I have to turn up the volume a lot to hear them. Do you know if there is a setting I can change or is the box faulty? I've tried changing the sound from multichannel to stereo but that makes no difference.

If you are turning the TV volume up try turning up the volume on the Humax instead. Not 100% sure if the 2000 is the same as my Fox-T2 but the Humax volume only works on the SD channels so it is entirely possible to have the HD channel volume blowing your head off while the SD channels are inaudible simply because the Humax volume is turned right down.
Those who wish to take advantage of multichannel sound will keep the volume on the Humax at maximum (or near maximum) and use the volume control for their sound system not the Humax's volume control. There is also an argument for doing that when the 'stereo' option is selected to get a better n/s ratio on some set-ups..
I have my Humax plugged into my AV amp so it's set on multi channel and I never normally use the Humax volume control. Never actually noticed this "feature" before but out of idle curiosity I've just tried it and it does indeed work when set to Stereo.
If it does work on the 2000T as well I wonder if the OP just switched between Multi Channel and Stereo on an SD channel and never tried it on an HD channel?
Not sure what the confusion is?
The OP says the SD channels only were quiet, which is fair enough if the volume was turned down and the box set to multi channel so the HD channels are unaffected. If the OP changed to Stereo but only tried a SD channel and did not try a HD channel he may not have noticed the HD channel volume was now as quiet as the SD channels. I'm sure that would have been mentioned. Either that or the 2000 doesn't work the same was as the Fox-T2.
