Page 1 of Daewoo 9000S5 5.1 Problem.

8)

I have just purchased the excellent Daewoo 9000S5 Player. Unfortunatley i cannot get the dialogue to work on the 5.1 setup.I can get fronts,rears,sub,cen but no dialogue.Or i can get fronts,sub,dialogue but no rears.The manual is crap.I have tried every combination.The test tone works.If any one can help i will be much obliged.

You may find the tips for the Compacks DVD5000 audio set up useful here - uses same chipset so I should imagine menu screens are similar.

t
you are right,the menu system is very similar but on the speaker menu
i have an extra menu bar "Dialogue".this is only highlighted when i shut downmix
off.It then has an adjustable slider.Also opposite downmix i only have
RT/LT
STEREO
OFF.

If i click off then the following appears.
FRONT
CENTER
REAR
SUB
TEST TONE
DIALOGUE(GREYED OUT)
POST DRC

When i play a dvd all the backround and effects are where they should be but no dialogue.

You want downmix set to OFF if you`re using the 5.1 outputs. Downmix is to reduce a 5.1 audio signal to 2 channel :)

Have had dowmmix off and everything works except dialogue.Turn downmix on and dialogue works but rears amd center do not.Have contacted Amazon who have offered a replacement or refund.Have also emailed Daewoo in the States,as this machine was imported from there.I dont think a replacement will help as i am not the only person with this problem.The thing is i really like the player,so perhaps there will be a firmware update or fix?.
Anyway thanx for your time and help.It was much appreciated.If i get it sorted i will upload a message.
