If I have the voice set ok but when the action starts it get way to loud. Is this normal or do I have my speakers set wrong.

Normal.

If you want to decrease this affect, look for a control on your AVR called "Dynamic Noise Reduction" and engage it.

Is this normal or do I have my speakers set wrong?Well, did you calibrate your speaker levels or not?

I'm not sure how to calibrate the speakers. I haved lowered and raised the dbc. I have the Yamaha HTR 5280 reciever there no adjustments for the front speakers.

Have you read the owners manual on your 5280 pertaining to calibrating the sound output of ALL of your speakers?

No I don't have it.

No I don't have it.Then you need to find or download one because you have not configured your system properly and, until you do, it is unlikely you get a satisfying result.

No I don't have it.So go online and get it. If you need a link, I can probably get you one. For Yamaha manuals, I think you have to register (it's simple enough). So, first, RTFM.

Regarding calibrating, you have to adjust your setup so that the RELATIVE volume of all your speakers is identical at your listening spot. If your surround channels are set too loud, then they are going to sound too loud when they are used.

No I don't have it but I got one off the Internet. I found one setting that I didn't set right. The setting for the main speakers was for std or -10 db. I set to -10 and it sounds better now. Thanks for reminding me about the manul.

Sorry me and my bad english. I got the owners manual off of a web site. The owners manual had in the setting adjusting the speaker output level named Ie main level in the setup menu. It had a std setting and -10 db setting. The -10 db lowered the main speaker power output -10 db or to about 1/3 of normal power. I set at -10 and that helped the sound.
I hoped this helped clear up what I meant.

We weren't really confused. But we knew that whatever setting it was, no matter what it is called, it probably is not your solution.

Setting the LFE level to -10dB is not the solution. You need to properly calibrate your speakers. As described in the manual.
