1 month agoSince you have 5 speakers, one of them should be the center speaker, which is focused on dialog. Some Denon receivers have a ‘dialog level adjust’ or ‘center level adjust’ setting that you can turn on and then turn up the dialog level. If you don’t have that setting the solution is to try to turn up the center speaker (or turn down all the other speakers) some way, such as using a mixer or some such (may require some research for specifics).
When they pass you in the hall at work, it’s like you are invisible to them. Never any eye contact or acknowledgement that you exist, except for them not actually walking right into you.
I had a coworker who did this to me (and a fair amount of other people at work). She was young and pretty and had this approach to any guys a fair amount older than her. I wasn’t trying to date her or even interact with her in any personal way…she just seemed to preemptively turn on her ‘you are invisible’ field to the many people she was not interested in. It was a bit odd, but effective.
