I've heard folks complain a bit about the extreme differences in dialogue versus sound effects in movies. Turn it up to hear the dialogue, and get blown out of your chair with music or an explosion. Someone suggested using the night mode. Though it's designed for listening at night without disturbing others in the house, I've found it to work great all the time (it only works with DVD in Dolby Digital mode). It brings up the dialogue and tones down the "loud stuff". In my opinion, it doesn't negatively affect the quality of the listening experience at all. I think it's more enjoyable. I'm not constantly turning the volume up and down while watching a movie.
