What is up with dvd audio in most sets? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I am wondering why dvd set make their show's audio focus on the speaker instead of centering it. With the way they make the audio in the speakers it sound like mouths moving but audio when it comes from speakers it does not look like anyone is talking but just a loud speaker. When I watch some shows on dvd especially when you are sitting right up front you can tell the centered volume is needed because you won't see the voices connected to the mouths right. Other words it is not in sync and looks funny when you notice the speakers are doing the talking instead of the people doing the show.
