Using either just the left or right channel the audio level with change for a split second when I change it but will then return to a very low level. The overall changes in volume with effect the combined audio if it is returned to that from the left or right channel. My question is if the problem is the cdgs themselves, or if it is hoster? Or if the cable I am using could be the problem? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

This sounds like your laptop sound card software or your receiver has an automatic volume limiter turned on. Hoster doesn't have any type of limiter built in and of course the CDGs don't either. You should actually not change the laptop volume any lower than maximum and use your Technics volume controls to vary it. In fact you should keep your Master, CD and WAV volumes all set to maximum.
To isolate where the problem is plug in a headset to the laptop instead of the amplifier and see what happens in the headset volume levels when you do this. If they vary and stay where you put them, then look on your receiver for a control/button.
