What does your speaker setup look like. I've had similar problem when either the center speaker was grossly mismatched with the front L-R speakers or where the center channel volume was set too low relative to the L-R speakers. In the latter case simply bumping the center channel up by 1db on my amp brought everything into line - at least to my untrained ears. --rick Chris Frederick wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a mythtv box in my living room now, and I love it.
