Not sure if I can mix dissimilar topics but:
1-I have a pioneer 7.1 receiver MPCC setup.
Honestly I can't get a comfortable balance.
The biggest problem is the center channel level, if I boost it above all the
channels it over balances the others in tv sound, but I never get the proper volume
for movies.
I struggle to hear dialog, no matter how high I raise volume. And the movies with near
whisper talking sets a mood but I seldom understand what they are saying.
My hearing has degraded over a lifetime but I still hear.
The music booms and the effects shake but the dialog gets lost, even with dialog
enhancement option.
Does this affect you? Any options?
Second question,
I have a pioneer dvhp5000mp for 1 car that I have AC3 and DTS option installed works great .
I have a Valor IDA700 for another car that has Dolby and DTS is a hidin' feature.
Unfortunately, the Valor model suffered from a poorly designed mechanism, their newer
models don't offer DTS since they never bought license, that's why the ida700 doesn't list feature.
I like the Valor because it puts decoding in 1 unit vs pioneer is a nightmare of wires with decoder attached.
I would like to replace valor but pioneer no longer offers decoding in newer models(according to e-mail response)
and valor likewise no dts.
Who else makes a car unit with both decoding?
