Just did BluRay "A Good Day To Die Harder". Well the track mention DTS True HD 7.1 but through out the movie never even heard any coming out from my rear speakers! The front and center mix also bad! Vocal is not centralized! The car chasing event after the BMW + Court explosion also flat! Do you guys experience the same or it is just me?

it's just you. something must be amiss with your setup.
if i remember correctly, the audio for that movie doesn't have any of the problem that you mentioned.

Ok thanks folks I must admit this should be the setup or the disc problem! John Mclaine (B.Willis)movie die die must sound good one right?
Jack Reacher movie did not too well in the box office right? Despite the effect is good but movie as in overall...errr... So so right?

Hey guys.. looking for a recent (2012-2014) movie to watch..
Something that doesn't bore me for long periods of time. I've recently tried watching Jack Ryan: Shawdow Recruit and I stopped watching after 3/4 of the movie since it was just too boring for some reason.

Action, adventure, romantic comedy, etc suggestions are all welcome. Not a fan of horror movies so don't suggest any of those.

delivery - found footage genre - ending mom stabbed the (demonic?) baby immediately after delivery. wtf?

I luv the movie. The reason why it did not do well is because American don't know a good movie even if it bite them in the a$$ (excuse my French) laugh.gif

Hi all, just wanna share the below AV demo disc I got frm local dealer. I love this kinda short clips where they picked the best scene frm the best movies! These are the 6 I got yesterday. Managed to test(fast phase) out 2 disc(due to the stupid Chinese opera/歌台 still going on) and bam!! Though the disc clearly stated DTS HD 7.1 but turn out to be the tracks only output 5.1 channel. Guess that's the prob when buying "ah hem" disc la..

Hi d_r, through out the titles I couldn't experience any sound coming out frm any 7.1 short clips thru the back surround speakers. Then I got into worry quickly went back to set up screen-test tone.. Huh the sound frm the back surround sounded brightly! Hah finally there is another page frm the disc where the track will enable one by the speaker staring frm the front left! So when the back surround speaker take turn to turn ON time, the screen showed the speaker output signal but the sound went to rear surround speakers. I think somehow the pirated disc when copying time, the additional 2 back surround signals already mixed into the rear surround. Is this making sense?
I have 4 four more disc to test, if all yield the same, *^%% will go return all the discs and exchange with P Ramli classic !!

Haha,

I dont know abt u.. but sometimes when u read too much rvws, u kinda need to take a step bck n look at de large picture then take a stand n decide - cos literally, there are just too much info coming out.. Can go crazy trying to decide.. one person says tis n another says tat.. n if u are looking at somethin new in de market - one of my most important criterias - durability is never answered - granted tat its so new tat nobody has really put some mileage on de gear .. but .. u know wat I m getting at..

So I guess in de end - luck [or de almighty, depending on who u r talking to.. laugh.gif ] plays a so important part..
