Well, you could adjust the tone controls to make your sports sound better. Of course, the down side would be that perhaps your movies would suffer. Or, you could go on enjoying your movies and simply learn to accept the fact that not everything is perfect and the sound on sports suck. which is the higher priority in your mind? Your choice.

timoteo Audioholic General Jan 11, 2012 #6 Tips! Ive found that typical sports are just broadcast in "thin" sounding audio. If im gonna have people over to say watch the SuperBowl, i normally go into the settings before everyone comes over & make a few changes. I change all speakers from my normal Small/80hz to Large+Bass I turn my subs up a good 3-4dB. Then i turn on my Yamaha's "Entertainment-Sports" DSP. I normally have all processing bypassed in "Straight" mode otherwise. Doing these 3 things makes a big improvement in sport programing. Its a temporary change i make only for get togethers like sports. Just remember to change your settings back once finished. So thats what i found works for me!! Sumo!!?...more like Biggest Loser!! Hahah

timoteo Audioholic General Jan 12, 2012 #9 I guess its all subjective as to what sounds good or not. Im comparing what sport channels sound like in comparison to a bluray. Of course the quality isnt anywhere near DTS-HD or the likes. It can be decent but i am in agreement with the OP that it does have a "thinner" sound, specially basketball. Football is a bit better, but because i know what my system is capable of i hold other programing to a higher standard. Making a couple setting adjustments to get closer to that quality is something im willing to do.

timoteo Audioholic General Jan 12, 2012 #11 Dan: In your case what id try is actually turning down the Center & in turn increase the master volume a bit more. This way you more of a wide/surround effect. That is similar to what my Yamaha does in the DSP "Sports" mode. It bumps up the surrounds & mains. Otherwise EVERYTHING can sound like its coming only from the Center. Just a thought!!

tattoo_Dan Banned Jan 12, 2012 #12 also,with all the sports I watch,I know that each network sounds a little different too,like FOX,NBC,& CBS all have distinctly different sound output.

Click to expand... thanks , I usually like listening to sports in DD EX or PLIIx movie,and I get the commentators voice to sound good on the cc while still getting the 7ch surround effects of the whistles and spectator sounds,etc,etc but I will try that this weekend and see if I like it that way. GO NINERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
