In Reply to: Is it just me, or is the sound better on Blu-Ray discs vs. regular DVD's? posted by The Real Dick Hertz on January 13, 2010 at 07:16:55:
maybe it is turned on by default.
supposedly it makes dialogue heard clearly over louder action sounds.
but it achieves this by compressing the entire sound track - that's why on your BD player, louder sounds are not that louder, and lower level details are heard more easily.
there's a catch of course. poorer sound fidelity overall....
