If you are running a 2.1 set up you do not want the DVD movies you are watching to output a 5.1 signal. Not only will your voice or center channel be very quit, you will be completely missing the rear channel information. What you need to do is go into the audio set up menu for each DVD you play and switch the audio from Dolby or DTS 5.1 into whatever two channel mixdown option the specific disc provides, usually Dolby 2.0. This will alow you to hear all of the info on the disc.
Newbie confused on 2.1 HT
HELP! I have new PSB speakers and a REL SUB, and would like to pair them with NAD amplification in a 60/40 music and HT system. (I'm looking at NAD C355 or c375 integrated to drive the speakers)
I currently have a very old Denon 2 channel receiver (which is a little bright with the PSBs) with a crap SONY dvd player (with progressive scan and 5.1 decoding), but with movies that are only mixed in 5.1, the voice channel is VERY quiet.
If I switch out the Denon for an NAD integrated, won't I have the same issue with the voice channel? How can I remedy this? Do I need an A/V receiver even though I only want two channel with a sub?
I currently don't care about Blu Ray or HDMI connectivity as my flat screen is old and music/sound is the priority by far.
Thanks, Chris
