Help me please - set up for improved dialog / center chanel.
Posted by WDWD on March 29, 2008 at 10:30:14:
Hi. For twenty years I've enjoyed watching movies in stereo.
My hearing is likely failing me and it's possible DVDs are featuring audio formats that require other than stereo - but I am unable to hear dialog clearly without turning up the volume to a level that makes the rest of the audio track obnoxiously loud.
I have no desire to add many speakers to my living room but I would very much like to have more pronounced dialog.
I assume I need a center speaker. I noticed the JVC line of receivers because they are very low profile. Upon examining the manual I noticed that you can tell the receiver how many speakers you are running. This may be unique to JVC and / or modern receivers.
What exactly am I looking for? Will an older pro-logic receiver do? Do I need a receiver with Dolby Digital? Will they all adapt to a three speaker set up and give me improved dialog?
Any input or suggestions greatly appreciated.
