Title: DVD Sound is Terrible
Product review: Purchased the "Tommy & Tuppence: Set 1" as a gift. Picture quality was wonderful on all episodes and the sound quality on "The Secret Adversary" was likewise. However, the sound on the shorter episodes was non-existent. I contacted Acorn Media and they said that the master from the original production was in "mono", therefore not of high quality. Acorn Media suggested I change the television setting from stereo to mono to improve the sound quality. It didn't. Only turning the television volume up as high as it can go, are you able to hear any dialog. However, by doing this, you also hear an irritating "HISS" throughout the program, which is nearly as loud as the dialog/music. Forget it.I am going to return the DVD and get the VHS, to see if it's any better.[June 1, 2006]VHS is much better. Not a VHS fan, but you gotta go where you gotta go.
