General Comments

This is my first experience of a surround sound system, and I must say that I am reasonably impressed with it. I paid £300 from Richer Sounds for my Multi-Region Sony DAVS550. The volume needs to be cranked on some DVDs but others are fine, especially those with a DTS track (Terminator 2 Ultimate DVD DTS track is cracking).
The only real problem thatI have found is that I can hear some dialogue through the sub. This was especially noticable with Mel Gibson's voice on the DTS track on 'Signs'and this did spoil the enjoyment slightly as this detatches the voices from the screen somewhat. Has anyone else noticed this and can it be remedied?
