OK i had my 2004 Acura TL for a few weeks now and i can tell you the DVD-A playback is not worth mentioning, actually the whole audio system is a bit shakey. To much midbass, that you cannot, no matter how you try get rid of. The speakers are not good enough to discern any advantage of higher resolution disc, the sorround sound thingy is disappointing.....At least the car is very very nice, so while driving you do not realize how annoying it sounds.dee

I love my 2004 TL. Stereophile and Absolute Sound were very happy with the sound system too. Methinks either you got a bad system, or a tin ear. Hell, even CDs sound good in mine.
grin on his face. Look out Greeley.
I own a 2004 Acura TL and found the sound system to be one of its strongest selling points. This is far and away the finest OEM sound system available. However, it is subject to the limitations of the media it plays. Garbage in, garbage out. I have purchased 80 DVD-As since January and can't wait to get in my car car to listen to my music. I am not alone in my praise of this system. Read the following:http://www.audioworld.com/news/0403/15.acura.els.audio.challenge.shtml
and:

The first link only points out that other car systems suck more, the second one points out that the AS reviewers expected less than I did. What really bothers me about the system is the overemphasis of the lower midbass and the lousy integration of the speakers, i can hear the tweeter going a mile a minute, the center speaker and if nobody sits in the passanger seat the right speaker is also quite annoying. The surround sound in the car is worse than in a home system, esp. considering the goofy mixes people make. So anyway i would have been a lot happier if they spent their resources to create something that sound musical as opposed to "Impressive".I am just happy that the car is very nice and while I am driving the sound becomes just a thing in the backround. I tried to listen critically to the damned thing one day while i was parked and and i gave up on it real quick.

Just don't use two female manequins on the back seat, or they will start chatting.Cheers :)

If you need some passengers to correct high frequencies, use some kind of manequins or dummies, and perhaps you can even dress them with various clothes and hats to change the acoustics. Call them Joe and Frank, and when you need more high frequencies, just stick them in the trunk.You will also find that agressive drivers are less likely to threaten you if they see three big guys with sunglasses sitting in the car.
You may get some funny looks at work, tho :)Cheers
