Why do music DVD's sound so bad?


I have purchased a few music DVD's (videos and live performances not 5 channel). and thought I could watch and listen to music with my 2 channel set-up (really haven't got into the 5 channel thing). I lost interest early after being disappointed with the sound quality. I tried a few DVD players Sony DVP9000ES and had the same poor results? It might be the titles I have selected.

Hey Gold, assuming you are happy with your system when listening to cd's or lp's or whatever, it almost has to be the titles. I doubt if it is the player, the 9000's that I have listened to sound fine. I had the same problem when I first started buying music DVDs. I do listen in 5.1 sometimes, but usually prefer 2 ch. I have some that the audio is so bad on I can't stand to put them in. But others are very good. Check out Sting's brand new day tour live from the Universal Amphitheatre. It's hands down my fav. right now. The Eagles, hell freezes over, The Coors, live at Royal Albert hall, and Elton John, one night only, all have pretty good sound too. Hang in there, I'm sure you can find some that you will like. Hope this helps a little.
Good luck,
Jamie
