Center channel questions


I currently listen to my TV sources using a normal two channel stereo. Its very high end but my wife and I often cant understand dialog and other times the sound track background noises and music overwhelm the dialog. Is this because we are missing the center channel information?

I understand the the center channel is dedicated mostly to voices so the addition of a center channel might clarify our problem.

If i am correct I would be looking for a center channel decoder. (I don't want to buy a 5.1 channel system, just a mono amp being driven by a center channel decoder if such a thing exists. Please comment and or make suggestions.

You may not have your system configured properly. Go in your TV's menus and make sure you have the output set for 2 channel only. That will get everything to your speakers.

Also look for an option called volume normalization. (It may be called something similar like normalization. You should have no problem finding it. Turn it on and do some listening. You should hear a big difference. (Assuming you needed to make adjustments to the above.)
