SINCE you had to turn the volume level up so much, maybe you should check over your settings and get the speaker levels correct using a $35 SPL meter. I guess the spl meter is too complicated for you so you had to get a bunch of employees from American HI FI to do it for you, and they obviously ****ed it up. I had no problem with this movie. Sure on some movies you gotta turn it up a little bit more than normal, but once you turn it up you can hear then dialog fine. And what world am I from? hahaha later DUDE.
That was a Taxi Driver reference, if you didnt catch it (the what world you from, that is)....anyway, do you even understand what I am asking? I UNDERSTAND what you are saying, I really, honestly do, regarding turning up the volume higher than normal on some soundtracks.....of course I understand that. And once I adjusted the receiver volume, the dialogue WAS able to be heard....what I was saying was Sean Penn's rhetoric along with Robbins', was EXTREMELY hushed and muted in delivery....the dialogue was RECORDED almost whisper-quiet at times, and if you didnt hear this, you need to get them there ears checked, bud....other website reviews said the EXACT same thing about the recording level of this DVD. I am not making this up.

The SPL isnt at all complicated for me, and the store didnt **** this up-----of course thats what you would say in order to create any kind of come-back based on what I said, which was that I DID have my system calibrated.....what else would you say? Would you actually agree with me? No, would never happen, so you need to be childish and create another come back by saying these guys ****ed my system up.....pretty logical. They didnt **** the system up; I had a couple of other techs from other shops come by and double check the operation.

Dude, my levels ARE set right----how much more can I turn up my center channel when they are already two decibels higher than the rest?? YOU KEEP SAYING THAT I NEED TO CHECK THOSE LEVELS BLAH BLAH BLAH BUT YOU WONT ANSWER MY QUESTION.....HOW MUCH MORE DO I NEED TO TURN UP MY CENTER CHANNEL'S dBs IF THEY ARE ALREADY TURNED UP ABOVE THE OTHER CHANNELS IN ORDER TO HEAR A BETTER CENTER STAGE? Can you at least answer me that? The levels are higher in the center channel than the rest, so what more can give me better center response?
