Hi almo89, betty and anyone who has the DVD LOCH 1982 already.
I want to buy DVD LOCH, but there are 3 reviews at yesasia said the Cantonese language audio is very poor. Is it true? The poor Cantonese audio in all episodes or in just several episodes? Also muffled and goes loud and soft throughout each episode? I think it's a crazy thing if TVB really do this to a very good TV series.
Thanks for the information.
"Just bought the DVD set but noticed there is a dramatic difference in audio quality between the Cantonese sound track and the Mandarin sound track. Has anyone noticed this also? The Cantonese audio track is slightly muffled and goes loud and soft throughout each episode (including the opening song!), while the Mandarin audio track is crisp and clear. Please let me know if you've noticed this issue. Perhaps I received a defective set??"
"like "flunky" said, the audio is muffled at times. the audio either is too low or too high. though i've only seen about twenty chapters, the audio is a disappointment. if it weren't for the english subtitles, i would be lost at times. what a shame! for tvb put out a great series with such terrible audio, and it wasn't cheap either. the picture quality is good but like most fan, i want it all.

"There is a problem with Cantonese Audio. We have to increase the volume to make sure we dont miss anything.
The English sub title also has problem staying longer on the screen. Sometimes 1-2 sentence of sub title dissapear in 2 seconds. I dont know anyone can read that fast. Not like there is another dialog coming to rush the previous sub title to go away that fast.
They need to improve their Quality Control on this set. I am not sure if they even test it.
Picture quality is awesome but the lack of audio and subtitle made our experience less wonderfull. Altough, It still fun to watch this series again after 20 years."
