Can't hear the voices on my home samsung HT-X70 home theatre system

check the connections on your center speaker. Most voice tracks are routed through the center channel

It sounds like a problem with your centre channel or speaker. The sound of Voices and on-screen, actions in the middle of the screen are played through the centre speaker. General sounds such as music in the background, off-screen events, etc. will be played through other speakers on a home theatre system. Check your connectors coming from your DVD player to your sound system. Are you using a single-cabled digital connector or one for every channel? Check your sound settings as well, i.e., Surround, AC3, Music, etc.

The voices are probably coming out on one of the channels that has a bad speaker, bad wire, loose connector, or bad output. If you have the audio set to 5.1 output, change it to two-channel stereo output. The voices should return to normal.

How does it sound when runnig the speaker setup routines on pages 55-68?

"DVD-AUDIO" is a specific type of ultra-high-end multichannel audio format that few people appreciate or understand enough to support in the commercial marketplace.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Audio

Movie DVD's are not "DVD-Audio". They are DVD's with audio of various formats. So don't sweat it if "DVD-Audio" is grayed out when you don't have a DVD-A disc inserted

it has something to do with the audio setting of the unit

CABLE GUY.

first check the settings on the audio menu of the dvd player. make sur it is set to 5.1 (if available) otherwise set it to stereo and your system should decode it.
assuming the second step is okay : as other dvd you play seem to work) it still may be that your unit is decoding stereo inputs just fine and 5.1 is not working properly....
so if adjusting audio settings in dvd play back menu dont work,
check that the cables to the satellite speakers are connected correctly and all plugged in soundly ( voice is high frequency,- coming from satellites - the garbled noises you hear are the base ( low freq) elements of voice which are coming from the bass box ( that the X.1 part of 5.1) and so that is obviously working. ,

when unplug it from the main outlet, sometimes it goes to defualt setting. check your audio setting..make sure you set according to the speakers that you have. good luck
