I found the center channel dialogue for F4: Rise of the Silver Surfer difficult to hear at times, especially during low passages.

Anyone else experience this? Was the dialog mixed too low, or was it my system?

No problems here. Try dialing up the center channel a couple of DB.

I am watching my copy tomorrow so I will report back...

Have you had this issue with other titles? If so, which ones? I'm asking because this is a good way to assess whether your current calibration is primarily at fault.

Not hear, sounds incredible on my Sony BDP-S300 w/ FW 2.60...

This review pretty much sums up my experience: HighDefDigest (http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/1082/fantasticfour_riseofthesilversurfer.html)

I did find dialogue was sometimes obscured -- the loudest action scenes were overwhelming a bit in the fronts, and some of the male voices (particularly Julian McMahon as Doom, and Laurence Fishburne as the Silver Surfer) felt flat and indistinct. But aside from the minor annoyance of having to reach for my remote's volume control two or three times, I have no complaints.

Flawless for me using DTS HD MA but I did think that the LFE was a bit low.

Does the Samsung 1400 have the bass management problem that many other players have?

No trouble hear, pun intended:)

LFE was indeed low, at least for me. So much stuff exploding or crashing on screen, and my living room barely shook (it did rumble a bit).

By contrast, Casino Royale practically tore the walls down during the opening action sequence and throughout. Go figure...

What method/connection are you using to run your sound to the receiver?
HDMI ?
Coaxial ?
Optical ?
Analog ?

Is the player setup for bitstream ?


What's your connection to the TV ?
If HDMI, are you going direct or though a receiver/other AV component first before connecting to TV.

Id forgoten how awful this movie is but it sure looks pretty.

wouldn't play on my BD-S1, probably need a firmware update.

I have complete audio drop out for both DTS and DD5.1. My connection for video is HDMI but Audio is routed through digital audio optical. This is the only blu-rey disk that i have had this problem. Tried cleaning the disk but it did not help.

Next thing too try is taking the disk back to Circuit City for an exchange. Bummer.........

I'm using a Playstation 3 with HDMI cable connected to an Onkyo 805 receiver. I have the PS3 setup for Linear PCM output.

My center channel speaker is a Klipsch RC-64 Ref IV. Specs: 33-inches width, four 6.5-inch midrange drivers, and horn loaded tweeter.

I selected the DTS-Core (1.5Mbps) audio track on the Blu-ray setup menu.

I watched it this weekend and the audio was fine with all the explosions booming and voice audio level normal like other films I've watched.

I use the Coaxial output from my BD-P1200 to my Sony receiver(5.1) using bitstream audio.

Second disk from Circuit City and same total audio drop out in the same time marks of the video.
