Will this receiver allow me to adjust the center (voice) speaker volume? I have a hard time picking up voices and that's the main reason I'm buying

Yes. ALL channels can be adjusted independently of the others. Center channel volume (Level) and clarity is influenced by several factors; not just volume. 1) Reference level to other speakers in the system. 2) Equalization of the center channel 3) Quality of the center channel speaker. Keep in mind, all program material you will encounter is not necessarily a true surround format. In the Denon, (MCH or multichannel) delivers the same program audio to all speakers. This is not the same as audio level. The center channel is used to "steer" audio to the center of the sound field when a true surround format is the source. Blu-Ray program audio in the (Dolby HD Master) is excellent in this regard.

Yes, you can use it. If you don´t want others listening to the speaker, press MUTE on the receiver control.

I use a 7.1 system. Center speaker is an old sony that was leftover from one of those DVD/7.1 combo jobs.

Hello Don. No it can not adjust the volume of the source. I set the level of the Sena to mid level then the audio device to the same. If communication is too loud turn the volume of the Bluetooth device up and your set.Thanks

I do not believe it does have voice enhancement. If this helps it does have a feature to direct the sound in one direction. From the remote you can actually move the sound around to a specific location. With the sound directed at you and being able to control the base and treble this might help. Of course it doesn't help separate background noise from a conversation. Even if what I am describing sounds tempting I strongly suggest calling Yamaha for technical assistance. They are very friendly and should be willing and able to tell you if this bar fits your needs. Having said all of this I can say my father returned a sound bar, not this one, because he had difficulty hearing. I believe he got a free or discounted sound system for hard of hearing issues. I believe his ear doctor directed him to the organization.

Yes, the remote offers both bass and treble adjustments as well as output leveling and dialog emphasis. I think you will find the available adjustments more than adequate.

there are actually two ways to adjust the volume. 1) by using the plus/minus buttons on the speaker. 2) adjusting the volume coming into the speaker from your device I.e. computer

I can do it with my DirectTV remote. It will only control volume. Can't get it to change the Speakercraft's inputs.

You can adjust the sound effect to clear voice(clrvoice is what shows) or loudness. Not much you can do with the soundbar.

Yes this unit can adjust the pitch with the remote. I have two karaoke systems hooked up to this unit so I can switch systems with a touch of the button on the remote. I can also adjust the music and vocal volume separately with the remote. This feature is important to get the right balance between music volume and vocal volume.

You will probably have to get external speakers that you can adjust the volume with. That's what I did with mine becuase the built in speakers are horrible.

I'm not sure how it works... but when I switch channels my receiver shows how it adjusts such as -3db or +2 db to even it out. There's also 3 kinds of night mode: low, medium, and high that could also help.Actually I just looked at it... it says "Dialog Norm" then it lists the dB adjustment.Edit: I finally had a chance to look around at it. I guess it is only on the 876 and 906. I guess I never realized the volume difference since most of the time I skip commercials since I use a DVR. Sorry for the trouble man.

Look in your Pioneer manual. There should be a section for sound adjustments it should tell you that this is needed for what you want it to do.

You should have someone that knows about the settings hook it up for you. It took me a while but when I finally got it. It can pick up the low end...

I wish I could answer that, I barely get mine to work. I can't pick up voices over 5 to 8 feet away.

There is no dialog enhancement feature, which would effectively be a center channel boost, its a 2.1 not a 5.1. You can set the treble higher, and it really has no problem reproducing voices clearly. It would be a mistake to think that these kinds of soundbars can be set to produce rumbling bass for movies, you just can't do that without it sounding awful in the first place. Its to replace your TV's sound with a fuller sound, not home theater sound.

Hopefully your receiver has the crossover in it, if not, get a passive crossover and put it between the receiver and center channel.
