Dolby Digital DVD's and Trouble with Dialogue - Help PLEASE?

[MCF]

I will try everything suggested here and hopefully one or a combination of things will solve my problem. In addition, I am going to replace the cheap 'house built with' speaker wire with a better quality speaker wire' and make sure all speaker wires to the center channel are connected correctly. I am also going to try a differenct DVD player...is it possible the DVD player is causing this problem? I have watched HD Discovery in DD and did not experience this problem.....

If you're connecting your DVD player to the receiver using a digital audio link, it won't matter which DVD player you use. The receiver does the format decoding, and the audio won't vary just because you switch out the DVD player. If you connect using a six-channel analog connection, then there might be some differences in the audio because the settings might differ.

I strongly advice you dude to read Quagmires Postings in the DVD Settings Control Receiver Even By Optic Cable thread. If your DVD player is set on the control that it overides the receiver, you may need to put the receiver's speaker setting on large, you also may need to adjust the PCM and Dynamic range settings on your DVD settings.

Thanks. I read it. Currently I have both analog and optic cable going from my DVD player to my reciever. I will remove the analog cable; however, everything else is per the write-up....funny, no one has suggested that possibly my speaker cable or center channel is bad. I can't check until Sunday as I am travelling, but I seem to recall covering the tweeter of my center channel with my hand and it not making much of a difference. Klipsh says the tweeter may be bad which would explain the muddyness of voices....

If your center is bad,its bad for everything. Didnt you say it was fine for the DC or something.

but when watching TV, voices are coming from center, left and right speakers. When watching DVD's, all voices are directed towards the center channel and they are being overwhelmed by everything else that is coming out of the center channel...makes me think maybe tweeter for center is bad. Just curious...what is the frequency range for dialogue? The center channel has two crossovers internal - 250Hz for woofers and 2250Hz for tweeter. Where would normal dialogue occur??
