Con esto podemos sacarnos la duda de que la cuestion del sonido no es exclusiva de la zona 4, lean este post de DVDTalk:

/I went into this with massively high expectations, especially considering that a fellow reviewer friend warned me not to run this DVD at reference level ESPECIALLY during the opening sequence because of the ridiculous LFE level used on the Dolby 5.1 EX track; what I came out with was disappointing to say the least -- in MY personal estimation and on my system, which I recalibrated several times after finding the first run of results, and which yielded the exact same responses. I began the film (running, of course, its 5.1 EX track) at reduced levels, per my cohort's recommendations, WAY under reference level, and that opening sequence of the space battle did exhibit some thunder from my sub -- but nothing that shook the plates off the walls like the ship explosion in the beginning of Episode II which often snapped my sub to death; from there, I noticed a distinct lack of "power" to the track -- ship fly-bys and score seemed to be "lost" somewhere in the mix -- a characteristic I found on Episode II's 5.1 EX track too and which just may be a recording style prepared for these films on DVD. But the overall impression that I got was that this was a SOFT audio track -- I know this sounds hard to believe, but to me, nothing seemed overtly aggressive here; sure, sounds found their way to the surrounds but it, unbelievably, wasn’t that often (the SAME thing I experienced during the film's theatrical run which leads me to believe this may have been the way it was intentionally recorded) and there was a lack of "punch" to the mix. Where during Episode II I could almost feel the lightsabers whipping around the room and through the surrounds on that 5.1 EX track, the saber fights here didn’t seem to have nearly the same impact. For the most part, I found everything remained up front and there was that typical "hushed" quality to the way the score came across over the action as it seemed, as I said, "lost" somewhere in the layers of other audio cues. This, as I am suspecting, may be a Star Wars DVD "problem" as I remember it plaguing the Episode II disc as well, but I thought that DVD was more aggressive in nature than Episode III. LFE was present, but, again, not as shockingly aggressive as on the Episode II 5.1 EX track -- that mix had a constant bombardment of bass that kept my walls rattling and it just didn’t seem to be happening on the Episode III track.

What was most unsettling, however, was the fact that I was finding that I needed to crank my master volume settings beyond what I normally would for a given action blockbuster of recent release -- that this soundtrack wasn’t giving me the sonic attack I was hoping it would. To give you a little example (which is irrelevant to anyone who does not own an Onkyo product), my receiver seems to be delivering a "comfortable" surround experience somewhere in the "50" range on the volume display and higher, based on my calibration settings; Episode III's 5.1 EX track didn’t get cooking and room filling until almost around "56" on my volume display, and it could have used more, to be honest. And even at that level, distractions broke into my theater and over the audio even during action sequences; it was disappointing as I was expecting a lot more.

Again, I recalibrated the system several times after making the first analysis of the mix, and I got the same results each time -- that the overall "level" of this track is on the weak side, believe it or not, and that it didn’t impress me all that much even though I had been anticipating its audio mix since the announcement of the November 1 DVD release. Now, there could be a couple of things at play here: first of all, it is remotely possible that I did in fact get a defective copy from Best Buy and that it has a somewhat flawed audio track; this is highly unlikely, I know, but remotely possible. Also, there could be a factor at work here regarding the EX "collapsing" effect which takes place in my system because I do not have that sixth back surround channel and so the EX signal is collapsed between the two standard surrounds; I don’t know if this is in any way affecting the playback results on this title, but I do know I was left with a rather empty feeling regarding the audio for such an action-packed conclusion to the prequel saga. Like I said, if anyone would like to discuss different -- or the same -- results of the performance of this title in your system, please fire away.

Hay una cosa que dice que yo tambien lo pense cuando empece a leer todo esto del sonido del DVD, cuando yo la vi en cine, cuando empezo la pelicula lo primero que pense fue que el volumen era bajo...
¿Sera asi...?
