 On my 7.1 Denon AVR 1912, I seem to have to have the volume turned up quite considerably for the audio to be loud enough... The audio also shows up as neg decibels (is that standard?). I've adjusted the channel levels to their highest levels now, which has helped, but that seems a bit janky...

 Hi folks,   I bought a Sony HTIB back in 2004, the HT-DDW760:   http://www.crutchfield.com/S-769w0PnM9VI/p_158HTDW760/Sony-HT-DDW760.html#overview-tab   I'm not exactly an audiophile, and I've always been reasonably satisfied with the sound of the speakers. My usage is:   Movies with...

I know there are a lot of threads about this issue, but has anyone actually solved this in a good way? I've tried increasing volume on the center speaker. But to get an even dialogue/action scene volume I have to put the center at +10dB and the others at a lot lower, between -2dB to +2dB. But...
