I thought this is the place for this question so here goes, Halloween is here and scary movies are a must, last night I wanted to watch Bram Stokers Dracula on Blu just won this on the bay 12.00 brand new. I noticed the AQ kinda sucked or I just didnt configure or set up something properly, any thoughts on the AQ from others ? I have just two fronts and two subs right now no surrounds and or no center, a pioneer 1015 avr so the blu player is hooked up via HDMI to the sony lcd and the audio is via toslink to the avr, the receiver picks up the digital in and auto sets the receiver to stereo, I set the audio on the blu/movie menu to 5.1 compressed and let er rip, heres the problem I had to turn uo the master volume much higher than any other movie , ever to about -5 db I can enjoy many movies at -15 db and that seems too loud this movie at -5 still seemed too low, am I missing something so simple somewhere any thoughts please Thanks, sawz..
