And I don't mind restating for a sum-up:
- MGM 1998 DVD -- mono/panned dialog1; missing H.A.L.'s spoken "I read you."
- Warner 1999 DVD -- mono/panned dialog1; includes H.A.L.'s spoken "I read you."
- Warner 2001 DVD -- mono/centered dialog1,2; includes H.A.L.'s spoken "I read you."
1: from listening to Floyd/receptionist chat at space station arrival
2: only person-to-person is centered; person-to-monitor (for example - "Voice Print Identification") is still panned
Thank you! But please note that there are other differences between the soundtrack remastered in 2001 and the previous ones. For example in the remastered version the surround is stereo, and sometimes it contains the low sound of the spaceship that wasn't there in the previous mix.
