Once again, thanks to all those who helped with the video questions I had. I'm basically content to watch TOS in 4:3 format with the black edges. I can stretch it, but I do prefer native format. Now on to another matter.... audio.
The biggest audio problem I'm having is trying to get the dialogue to be at the same level as the music/ effects (or nearly so). Much of the time, the music is so loud after turning the audio up to hear the dialogue, that I'm afraid the speakers will be damaged. And many times I have trouble hearing the dialogue. I've tried all the audio settings available which includes standard, dynamic, and clear voice. Of all of these, only clear voice levels the audio somewhat better but the bass is severely curtailed. Appreciate any suggestions here.
Only other thing I find with audio settings on these Blu-Rays is that I have to turn it almost to max, to at least 80% of the maximum volume available. This is even with a preset audio offset. Are your Trek Blu-Rays also this way or is there some adjustment I'm overlooking? BTW, all audio/ video is channeled by HDMI cable in my system.
Now this really isn't a settings issue, but something I've noticed. When the DVD's first came out, I noticed that there was an extra, lower octave present with any of the loud sound effects. Like if a phaser fires, instead of just the normal phaser sound, I also hear a slightly fainter sound of the phaser an octave below the normal sound. I only hear this on the loudest sound effects and have often wondered if it is some kind of audio error they couldn't eliminate. I thought it might be only a DVD issue, but I hear it now on the Blu Rays too. Thoughts? Thanks to all in advance.
