I am approaching my 80th year and my hearing is not what it used to be. I have a custom home theater with excellent equipment and am thinking of making some changes and therefore am seeking advice. I am either watching movies with a Dune player from BR disks ripped to a large server, or I am watching TV with a feed (Spectrum is the ISP) coming through a Tivo Premiere. I have no issue with the movies, my problem is with the TV.

The speaker array is 7.4.1 and the audio processor is an Anthem AVM60. It seems that modern TV production likes to have music with the dialog to heighten the "feel" of the scene. The music often overpowers the dialog. Programs that don't do this give me very little problem and I hear the dialog adequately.

I have been thinking of setting up an audio mode for the TV which is boosting the center channel volume but I am concerned that the center channel will be carrying more than just the dialog but also the annoying background music effectively defeating my plan.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
