Hi John, That sounds like what I'm looking for. I think that for the price I can get the 1712 for it's worth a try. Watching movies in surround is new to me and so far has been a pretty frustrating and disappointing experience. Previous to my recent purchase of the epic system my system was 4.0 and only used for music and concert DVD's. Seems like some movies arent as bad as others so it may even be something that I only use occasionally, maybe I will find that Dynamic EQ helps with the problem and not need the Dynamic Volume. Either way it would be nice to have some options in these situations, right now I really have nothing to work with, it just kinda is what it is.
