The first Iron Man really needs an upgrade

[Dr Kain]

I remember there being an issue with people's receiver settings being automatically turned on once the disc was inserted into the player - that setting where the volume is lowered by default, like if someone is sleeping or in another room, etc., it adjusts itself and you have to manually turn that off in order to get the full sound effects of the Blu-ray.

Iron Man is a great sounding disc. Check your settings again.

Sounds like someone doesn't have their receivers set up properly. IM was great for audio.

I'm quite certain my receiver is set up fine given that every other movie I own is fine. And my player's set up is the same as it has been since Day 1. It does this even on the PS3 though.

However, I have no idea how to check the receiver because there are too many buttons and options on this thing and the manual is too big to even help me. If I press one button, it usually takes me 5-10 minutes to figure out what I hit just to get it back to what I had it on.

I actually do not even know how to access the on screen settings menu. The manual says to press both the receiver button and menu, but nothing happens when I do.

Also, you gotta remember, IM hit in 2008. Since then, there have a been a ton of BD's that blow IM's audio outta the water. It's still awesome, just not as awesome as it was in '08 .... lol ...

Never heard of night time mode. I would have no idea how to even check that on my receiver.

And even in 2008 I thought the audio for the BD sucked.

Another example is when Tony is thrown into the bus by Obe. There is just a little quiet smashing sound, but nothing big.

Look pal, use the logical, if IM and Transformers 2 sounds terrible and I am telling you that Transformers had the same kind problem, so the answer is the studio, that is the answer. If you not believe watch Transfomers.

ShiT EVEN my DVDs from Sony sounds louder and better than them.

??? Sounding louder =/= better.

Yes, but all of these other people are saying theirs work fine.

If it were your settings, you should got problems with other movies, but you only have problems with this movies from Paramount.

As mentioned by others, the first Iron Man Blu-ray had an authoring error that caused some brands of receiver to turn on Dynamic Range Compression ("Night Mode") if transmitting by bitstream. Check your settings to see if you can turn that off. If not, switch the Blu-ray player to decode the soundtrack interally to PCM.

Dont you mean the Paramount Blu-Rays? Because Transfomers had the same problem too, just check the freeway scene when Brawler destroy the bus in a half, the explosion sounds weak too, the gunshots sounds like air soft guns too.

Kain even said that Transformers 2(paramount again) had the same problem and this had DTS instead of Dolby.

Yes, I have DRC turned off. It was one of the first things I did when I first turned on that player.

You have to check it while the movie is playing. The disc triggers the receiver to switch.

If you still don't see anything there, switch to PCM output.
