dvd dialog always too soft

The dialog is always too soft on dvd movies. The background crap and music
drowns it out.
I can't believe movie directors are so retarded to mix audio like that.
Anything that can be done about this?

Get an AV amp and set it up correctly and hay-presto the sound is correct.

the problem is high dynamic range and multi-channel sound (7+) mixed to two
channels. but if you use an AVamp which is multi-channel problem solved.

You don't need a separate amp to enjoy DVDs. The DVD player is not
correctly set up for his use, though. Read the instruction book to find
out what the correct setting is, then go into the Audio portion of the
Setup menu to choose the correct "downmix" (usual term, may vary).

I have a Panasonic surround TV and I don't have the problem with that.

I did have the problem with a normal stereo TV

It sounds awfully like the problem with Sky movies on sky+. Apparently
they are broadcast in dolby 5.1 or whatever, which really screws up
the sounds if you're watching through a standard telly. The only way
to get round it, if the film is not being broadcast with AD activated,
is to switch AD on, then the sound reverts to normal.

Occasionally I have the same complaint using just the TV speakers.

Recently I hooked up my stereo to the DVD player's audio out connects.
The movies sounded so much clearer and better that I went back and
rewatched a lot of my dvds that were collecting dust, just to enjoy some
nice sound-tracks.

Sounds like you are watching a movie using the 5.1 soundtrack on a 2
channel stereo system. If the movie has a 2 channel stereo audio track
use that instead and your problem will go away.
