Re: DTS vs. DD: Shouldn't DTS sound better?

67.9.185.97

I have a Yamaha receiver as well, although much older, and experience the same thing on the center channel. Using a calibration disk and SPL meter helped me figure out that there was an almost 6db drop in volume for the center. The muffled sound you're hearing could be a combination of the decreased center volume in addition to more information on all the other channels (from DTS).

Playing with the settings (6db boost to the center) helped greatly, although this is a pain to set every time I rent a DTS disk, so I normally default to DD.

Hope that helps a little.
