I'm no expert on DVDs, but here's the first two things I thought of... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Check the language settings. Maybe you hit some sort of exotic language |
| 16 |
that the DVD doesn't have, but is letting you set as if it did, for some |
| 17 |
reason. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
It could also be audio channel tracking. Dialog normally comes out of |
| 20 |
the center channel if you have it on multi-channel instead of stereo. If |
| 21 |
you don't have a center channel but have it set as if you do, you may |
| 22 |
miss most of the dialog, while you'd still here at least some of the |
| 23 |
effects and mix. |
