- I don't have a problem with this laserdisc either. But, I use phantom center.
- Is the original poster using a real center speaker? If so, is that center
- speaker of equal quality to the left and right channel speakers and is the amp
- the same power as the left and right channel amps? If the answer to the first
- question is yes and the answer to the second question is no, then that is the
- problem. If the center channel amp and speaker are inferior to the left/right
- channel, then the center channel audio will be poor.
-
- I don't have room for a center speaker, nor do I have an amp to drive it. But,
- because of where I sit, phantom mode works perfectly. I suggest trying phantom
- mode to see if it makes a difference to the center channel audio quality.
