Question about sound on DVD

kin · Post by **kin** » Wed Oct 17, 2001 8:37 am

Is there any way to adjust the music on the DVD vs the dialog??? Its just seems that the music overpowers the dialog. I can sometimes barely hear the speaking over the sound. eg. The music seems 2x vs the dialog 1x

I still play the movies off my 2 speakers on my TV till I get a cool receiver hookup set up.

Anyone else notice this or is it just me.

Thoughts????

It might be because of the speakers you are using. I've never noticed that on various setups. Once you get a receiver you'll have various settings which can control that, I doubt you have that with your tv speakers,

Try setting the DVD to run in stereo or dolby prologic/surround, NOT DD/DTS.

Yup, and try fiddling with some dynamic compression options. It basically flattens out the volume range of you hear, so quiet stuff is a bit louder and loud stuff is a bit quieter. It helps with low-fi setups and when you cannot turn it up too loud. It's great when you need to watch a movie quietly.
Also, make sure your DVD player knows that you don't have a center channel.
