Hi All,
I have a Yamaha HTR-3063 (http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-HTR-3063BL-Receiver-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B003CP0KFU). It has a ton of different pre-configured 5.1 settings but all but one don't sound quite right - specifically voices are drowned out by music/effects.
The stereo has "movie" settings such as Standard, Adventure, Video Game, etc.... these are all (from what I understand) true 5.1 where voices come out of the front 3 speakers, rear speakers are for background sounds. They sound nice other than the fact that often times we are forced to put subtitles on in order to really hear what people are saying.
The setting we default to "5ch Enhanced" which doesn't seem to be true 5.1 - instead it's more "all sounds pushed through all speakers." Not to say that it doesn't sound nice, but...it's not true 5.1.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Our home theater setup is pretty nice but I'd like to make it true 5.1 if possible - ideally where I don't need subtitles and I'm not forced to turn up the speakers when it's "pure talk" and then frantically turn it down when there is music/fight scenes/etc... going on.
Any advice appreciated.
