I have a Yamaha 459 receiver and Jamo speakers (5) without any subwoofer. If I play DVDs, I can not clearly hear the dialogues but music plays fine. If it is 'Pearl Harbour', the planes and bombings sound fine, but can't hear what the actors are talking - dialogues that are spoken!
I use digital cable from my 5.1 compatible DVD player to the Yamaha receiver. Same problem if I hear the FM radio on the system. The conversations of announcers does not sound as great as the music played on the channels.
Any settings that I am missing?

Dialog in surround sound comes from the center channel speaker. Check your center channel speaker and connecting wires first. Also check to see at what level the center channel speaker is set to. You may need to re-do the speaker level setups. You might also want to temporarily swap one of your front speakers for the center channel speaker and see if that makes a difference in the dialog.

Sounds like you missed something in your audio set-up for your receiver.
See if it has something called audio set-up or something similar to it, it sounds like your center channel is not getting enough power
try increasing power to your center channel only.
Better yet buy an sound level meter, when setting up your audio for your receiver, this way you can make sure all of your speakers are playing at the same level.

like quite a few different pros of their solutions, stay a way from Bose, sure i do this for a residing too. i'm no longer going to specify a brad cuz i do not comprehend your budget. So without the affordable my suggestion is to spend an similar quantity on audio equipment that you spent on your DVD, CD, and Receiver mixed. So once you've a $2 hundred DVD + $one hundred CD + $seven-hundred receiver then spend $1000 on the audio equipment or extra once you've the money. audio equipment make the biggest distinction! also for music and flicks, in the journey that your budget facilitates, get some thing with more suitable the front audio equipment which could characterize bass. Subs are superb if it really is the equipment you could locate the money for, regardless of if bass is extra regularly than not non-directional, even i'm able to inform the position a 30Hz tone is coming from so frontal bass is extra gratifying. And by all means in case you could locate the money for more suitable the front and a sub then do both. Listening tip, human beings have a tendency to purchase overly vibrant or bass sounding audio equipment (Bose) because area by area to a "tender" pair they look to sound extra appropriate. it really is until eventually you get fatigued from listening to them. So imagine once you're listening "wow that treble is crisp and loud, sounds reliable"...... imagine about it, is it intense, is that going to computer virus me at the same time as i'm gazing a movie? wish this helps

You have to check your settings. It sounds like you are not playing your front center channel, which is the principal channel for dialogue.
