   Thanks for that, really helps folks to answer providing info like that.   
   Keep it up :)

   I can see this in that same section to the right   
      
   Note: "This parameter is not displayed during DTS playback" ?   
      
   Try a DVD without a DTS soundtrack, or turn DTS off in the DVD's home   
   menu audio option?   
      
      
   However, instead of mucking about with compression, try turning the   
   centre  channel up a little bit. You probably are trying to follow the   
   dialog which generally goes to that speaker, and maybe it's a bit low so   
   you get blasted by everything else.   
      
   But, hang on....

   Er, that's not how you do it!   
      
   You need to sit in your listening chair and adjust the volume of each   
   speaker so that they all sound at the same volume _from your chair_
