Hello everyone,
I have a problem with a Dolby Digital speaker set up. I know I am supposed to use the receiver's test tone and a SPL meter to calibrate each channel to the same decible, but when I do that, during a movie, I need to continuously raise the volume in order to hear the dialog, then back the volume down when loud parts of the movie are present. I would like advice on what to do to bring out the dialog and make it more pronounced with out sacrificing the balance factor.
Another question of mine is: A Receiver has special sound enhancements like Movie, Music, etc. Am I supposed to take advantage of these sound fields or ignore them when watching a movie. I know people will say, what ever sounds better, but I find myself second guessing myself alot. I would think using no sound fields would be how the movie was intended to be heard.
I appreciate in advance and welcome all comments and suggestions,
