Yep, the Dolby volume will only be available in a few high end AVR's, however the Dynamic EQ is part of Audyssey MultEQ XT in the higher end Denons, Onkyo's, etc. Or if you took part in the upgrade dealeo...

There is a nice video on Youtube where audioholics interviewed Chris K from Audyssey on upcoming new features..

I have yet to do the upgrade, too many other thigs taking my money at the moment.

I've been experimenting a bit with raising the surrounds and the sub slightly after learning about Dynamic EQ. I found that when listing at -10 of reference, it sounds better with the surrounds bumped up 2 to 4 db and the sub 2 to 4 db. I have never bumped the center or the mains. I've been meaning to start a thread at AVS on this but I haven't had time to do more testing.

My guess is the 8 positions you used for Audyssey. The 8 positions should be grouped together withing a few feet of each other with the first one being at your primary seat. If you get outside the mains, weird things can happen. Also, it essential use a tripod.

I don't think its the center overpowering the mains, its an issue with not getting the right soundstage with the mains, so the image is pushed in to the center. One of the things Alan suggested is putting the mains forward of the center. I have them on the same plain.

It isn't really an issue for movies, but it sure is for music.
