Sony SS-MF550H Fonts Sony SS-CN550H Center Sony Subwoofer SA-WM500 12" Surround speakers None Receiver Pioneer vsx 816K Speaker wires thx standard version audio cables monster cable. my question is this. i have some dialog issues on some movies that i watch. on dvd's. when i was watching matrix part 2,the voice dialog was very low in some parts of the movie. i did do the auto calibrating that was built into the receiver. all the wires are red to black from speaker to receiver. but most other movies that i own don't have the low dialog. just the matrix movies. does anyone esl have this issue? with matrix 1 2 3?

I haven't watched any of the Matrix in awhile but I do recall the dialog seems to be lower than many other movies. Have you tried using dynamic compression (aka 'late night' mode)? It will reduce the peaks and loud explosions a little bit but often makes the dialog more intelligible.
