I watched Whitehouse Down in DTS HD and many voices were distorted volume at (60)

I watched GI Joe Retaliation at high volume (65) and the only voice that was distorted was Cobra Commanders. This was in Dolby True HD.

I tried bringing down the center via the Dialog emphasis menu option (-1.5) and still had Some vocals distort

Suggestion (besides the obvious of lowering the volume) would be welcome

tks



I doubt that receiver would be hard clipping like that but I do wonder is if you ran auddysey and whether it set the center channel to LARGE. Perhaps you are overloading the midrange drivers in the VP150 when those dynamic scenes hit on those lossless tracks?
