Some DVDs are just about this. I tried other players and same thing. At times I had to turn on captions to sort out the dialog.

We've been having an issue with the sound when we play a DVD. The background sound completely overwhelms the dialogue. (we only use the TV sound, no added systems or speakers) We have tried all sorts of settings to rectify, but have not found the magic choice yet. I lost the TV manual, so I've been unable to see if they have troubleshooting tips. Does anyone have a suggestion on how we might fix this issue and even out the sound? It only occurs when we use the DVD player.
