Could anyone advise why a lot of DVDs need a higher audio level?
For example my system is well balanced and often depending on the DVD content i.e movies in particular, I find the centre dialogue channel always a lot lower, the surrounds appear to be over done on a lot of action movies. Dynamic range is one thing, but I suspect other reasonings on this observation, I have had similer comments from a lot of my contempories, I hired out "THE THIRTEEN GHOSTS" a new release here in Australia to find the center channel way down and with a lot of fiddling to hear a proper voice.
I listen in all formats Stereo, 5.1 DTS and the variation in levels are very noticible, do we have to suffer good video transfers at the expense of the audio channels any advice would be welcome.
