Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi, guys... I'm a brand new user, but I'm somewhat dissapointed
with the volume I can get from the module. I'm not talking about
the headphones volume, which has been discussed to death, but 
the volume I get from my amplifier.

My signal path is DTXpress to medium-hi class home amplifier (Mission
Cyrus One) to Bose Acoustimass loudspeakers. Although I maxed the 
volume control both in the amplifier and the module I get a VERY weak
output from the amp. If I use the headphones output from the DTX, I
get a *bit* more output, but distorted. I'm using the "Aux" input in 
the amp. The amp volume seems OK using any other source (Discman,
Video, Walkman, etc... even my BOSS GT-3 guitar effects processor 
sounds full and loud...)

Am I doing something wrong?... Are there any "parameters" to increase
the output volume?...

By the way, I connected it to a friend's Bass combo and it sounded
loud, full and rich! (DTX's mono output to amp's preamp input).

Thanks a lot in advance...

Hey, guys... I still got the problem and no one answered!

Please... have you got any idea on this?... I know that this module
is 
 supposed to be connected to mix board or a more sensitive amp like a 
keyboard amp, but I cannot believe that the Yamaha engineers didn't 
want their customers to use it with a simple home Hi-Fi. As a 
practicing instrument, it makes sense to connect it to the Stereo and
jam along at home!

Come on, guys!, I know you're all doing this, but how?... Am I doing 
anything wrong?
