Well basically another sound tech swapped left for center and voilá. Problem solved.
Still weird why the other film was playing 5.1 perfectly.

Hey... If it works it works.

Thank you guys for all your input and help.

Hum... Center and Right sometimes get swapped because of different surround standards (LRC vs LCR), but Left and Center, that's a first for me.

In dialogue scenes one actors voice would be coming from the center, but the other actor talking to him would be coming from the left.
There was a sound technician there, I'm confident the he knows what he was doing and he says the channels were coming in wrong.
I think I had o the R channel what should be Ds.

What you wrote at first doesn't "work" if you swap left for center. The "one actor's voice" that was coming from center, would now come from left.
That, and all dialogue that was supposed to come from center in all other movies.
It wouldn't work if the wiring was previously wrongly connected in amps or speakers.

Thank you too for sharing, but there is something there that you, and subsequently we, are missing.
