BDV-F500 problem

Hi everyone,

For a few months now I've been experiencing problems when playing a BD or DVD on my F500.  There is a huge difference in volume between dialogue, music and sound effects..

I suppose the problem lies in the fact that most BD or DVD's are encoded in some form of 5.1 audio and the F500 is only a 2.1 system...  Watching a movie sounds exactly like watching a movie on a 5.1 with the centrespeaker disabled.  Very annoying.

Yesterday I discovered on the Dark Knight BD that there's a 2.0 channel audio included.

This almost fixes the problem. Dialogue and FX are at the same level.  Only thing is: it doesn't make use of the subwoofer AND it's an 'English for the seeing-impaired'-track and thus includes commentaries about the scenery and such :-)).

Is there a way, maybe through a softwareupdate or something to force my player to play these movies in a 2.1 format?

Browsing the internet I've found more people with the same problem, so there must be something to do about it?

My TV is a Sony KDL46NX700, if that should make any difference.

Kind Regards,

J.
