I've asked this question a while ago but never got to the bottom of it.
I have a Denon AVR-X2600H amp in my lounge and have now swapped the front L&R speakers over with the ones from my cinema room.
It's setup for bi-amping and the speakers are all connected correctly.
I've run the full audyseey setup, twice.
The amp is connected to my Sky Q box.
When leaving it set to Dolby Digital, on HD channels, I can hear all speech through the rear speakers, which clearly shouldn't be the case.
Basically, the front left, right, centre and both rear speakers are all playing all audio at the same level.
If I set it to DTS Neutral, it's better but still not great. However, if I watch a film on Sky Cinema, all is fine (in DD), as it is with watching anything from Netflix or my Amazon fire box.
Sad as it maybe, I'm currently watching Countdown on Channel 4. Via the Sky Q box and it's an HD channel.
If I leave the amp on DD, I can hear their voices from all 5 speakers. If I switch to DTS Neural, it's improved but still more "surroundy" than it should be.
I never had this problem with my previous Pioneer, Onkyo or Yamaha amps over the years.
I've used my digital sound meter and the rears aren't set too loud, and I don't want to turn the settings down on them as it will affect watching films.
Where am I going wrong? It's doing my nut in and I have to keep changing the audio output depending on what I'm watching
