need help

Where to look for help on my system setup for the sound. I put in Godfather part one and I can't hear the voices without cranking up the volume, then next scene party starts and music blasts me threw the wall.

Try boosting just your center channels volume. That's where all the dialogue should be coming from.

i have it at full volume for center channel, the whole system seems wrong. Are all Blu Ray discs created equal on soumd??

Which center channel do you have and also what left and right speakers?

Did you use auto calibration with a mic to setup? If you're center is maxed and you still can't hear, then maybe you need to drop down your front left/right a tad if those are up high too..

I,m using: Center Paradigm CC-470

Receiver: Yamaha RX-V2400

Having the center set that far above the levels of L/R seems kinda weird. Try running the receivers test tones and see if they sound good to you, there may be larger issues at play here.

O.K i turned the mains down got better. Ran the auto cal on the receiver thats when the soound gets all low? I'm putting the mic in my sitting spot? Need to set all levels with spl meter. Can anyone tell me the settings for the radio shack meter(analog)? Also where to put receiver during testing? Yhanks for all your help!
