Try running it just out of the TV. If it sounds like crud then, you will know it is the mixing. I definetly wouldn't use a Friends DVD as a benchtest for my audio gear. However, if it sounds balanced through the TV or another set of speakers, then they may be the culprit.
I once used a Steve Miller album to check wow and flutter on my Onkyo TT. Bad idea, the song was mixed with it all over on purpose. oops. Got rid of that TT and regretted it ever since. Sometimes it is the message and not the messenger.
