Refer to P86 of the manual and use the MOVIE/TV or MUSIC buttons on the remote at the bottom right to change the listening mode.
See P100 for all the MUSIC Listening modes.
if the source of the music is digital then the best mode would be AllCh Stereo.

Answer

The center channel is where the Voice mix is. You can in quick settings raise the center channel vol up

This is more a source material issue. This unit decodes just abut every sound mode available from the source material and the settings can be customized through the settings menu. The picture shows one example of how you can fine tune the settings of each speaker. There are lot more options and I would suggest visiting Onkyo's website where you can view the full manual.

With a simple 4 ch surround system, I use Voice function @ +5db, and "DolbyDD+, Dolby Audio Surround setting" with the "Movie TV" button. 
Then, I use the EQ settings to add another + 6Db of additional gain within the typical voice frequencies, e.g. 300-4000Hz. Further, I typically
set bass settings to as much as -10Db, and the treble to +10 Db.! 

Experiment to your own taste and circumstances. I am a lowly lawyer x 35 years, a licensed Ham radio operator call kk4qk, and
a Mechanical Engineer x ~ 40 yrs. My wife x 38 years Sharon is also a licensed ham call n4rbg, and she helped me with all of this.

Good luck and May God bless you and your family.

This receiver has a separate voice control. It goes up to +10. At plus +3 vocals are loud and clear and +5 vocals are louder than everything (much louder).
