Intelligability Problem


Can anyone give me a heads up on what to check... I have a Denon receiver, Panasonic Blu-Ray player, and NHT towers, center channel, surrounds, and sub. TV sound is fine, but Blu Ray, and even reg. DVD is fuzzy, and unintelligible. Any suggestions??

Lots of DVDs and Blue Rays are mixed with the dialogue rather low relative to all other sounds. Presumably, the viewer is expected to raise the volume until the dialog can be clearly heard. Unfortunately, loud effects are then LOUD! I think that's the idea - recreate the in-cinema experience, but it can create the issue that you're describing. Particularly since you don't have an issue with TV content, which does not feature this type of audio mix.

My fix is to manually raise the level of the center channel while leaving all other audio channels at their "default" level.

Just one more ideafor you to consider.
