I believe you've hit on my problem. I don't have the Dolby 5.1, so
I'm
betting I'm getting everything compressed into two channels.
Thanx..

Max, even when watching a HD program and listening to the sound thru
your TVs stereo speakers the sound should appear normal. The sound
wouldn't be compressed you would be getting a normal stereo
presentation. Every Dolby 5.1 soundtrack also includes a stereo
soundtrack to allow for backwards compatability. I would check your
TVs menu under the section where sound adjustments can be made and see
if you can choose between something like "normal" "stereo" "surround"
etc. If you can, try choosing "normal" or "stereo" Sometimes those
other fake matrix surround selections can sound quite weird.

It's on stereo now, but I'll give mono a try. Anything would be better than
what we have now.
