Newbie confused on 2.1 HT

HELP! I have new PSB speakers and a REL SUB, and would like to pair them with NAD amplification in a 60/40 music and HT system. (I'm looking at NAD C355 or c375 integrated to drive the speakers)

I currently have a very old Denon 2 channel receiver (which is a little bright with the PSBs) with a crap SONY dvd player (with progressive scan and 5.1 decoding), but with movies that are only mixed in 5.1, the voice channel is VERY quiet.

If I switch out the Denon for an NAD integrated, won't I have the same issue with the voice channel? How can I remedy this? Do I need an A/V receiver even though I only want two channel with a sub?

I currently don't care about Blu Ray or HDMI connectivity as my flat screen is old and music/sound is the priority by far.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the reponses.

Rcrerar - adjusting the audio options in DVDs works for those that offer that menu, but I'm finding about 20% of our Netflix rentals don't contain that option.

Reubent - my DVD player doesn't have an audio menu, so that is probably the first thing I need to replace.
