It sounds like it might be normal. Firstly, it is difficult to gage when program material is at the same levels. Second, perhaps the built in EQ had to attenuate a lot for proper sound according to the Audyssey program.

I have a Denon 3808CI, and it allows custom gain adjustment for each input (analog or digital). That allows you to tweak all your inputs to the relative same volume. It's kinda hard to find the settings in the OSD menu cascade. Depending on which Denon you have, check your manual to find out how to do it. I'm sure all their receivers have that option.
