Surround Sound Dolby Digital 5.1
I'm thinking about buying a widescreen tv with virtual surround sound (the sound from behind without the actual speakers right?) "virtual" surround sound is an attempt at emulating real 5.1 sound. It actually tends to spread out the sound from left to right. There is no way to magically make the sound come from

Digital Output on DVD Question
It used to be only stereo or Dolby surround but SSX tricky on the PS2 is DTS which is nice. I think XBOX games have the most 5.1 titles on the market (not sure since I haven't bought an XBOX yet). While gaming surround is getting better, DVD movies provide the most amazing sound experience followed by a kick ass PC

Jer jcpor...@mediaone.net alt music-lover audiophile hardware I have a nice 5.1 home theater surround sound AC3 system that sounds kickass with 5.1 DVDs - I have a Denon Recvr, a Technics AC3 digital processor with 6 discreet signals and the 4 speaker, center & sub.

what exactly is AC3?
It shows me that there is surround sound as an option. I do not even need it. The other guy did. He apparently saw that option in the same window otherwise he would have asked his question in a different way. Nonetheless, if I am not mistaken, you advised him to check if his sound card supported 5.1. Why?

Question about DTS-ES Matrix / Non-Matrix modes
Quick question for all of you..... If I have one of the early SoundBlaster Live! cards....how do I know if it supports 5.1 Dolby Surround sound or not? I see the xtra Digitial I/O plug in card has the S/PDIF IN and OUT ports on it...does this mean I got it or not? It depends on the make of the card.

Surround Sound (5.1 specs)
The salesman was really pushing DTS 5.1 sound. Come to find out, the surround system and DVD player are both without the chip for 5.1, We got a great deal(I think), a 600 watt system (5 speakers and a 10" sub) with a DVD player for 800 bucks. My questions are, is it worth it to pay the extra to upgrade to the

5.1 Digital Question
Does using these expanders when you have a surround sound system distort the sound so you're not getting the full benefit of the experience? Which one should I use? And if I should or should not use an expander for playing Dolby 5.1, should I then do the same for DTS? I'd really appreciate if folks could help clear

5.1 thicko question.
It encodes the sound to Dolby Digital 5.1 format, and sends the bitstream to your reciever which then decodes it and sends it to your speakers. You will need a separate receiver to take advantage of the feature. ps. I thought Colony Wars supported Dolby 5.1, or was that just the videos? It's Dolby Surround (3

But really, it's no match for the Dolby Digital 5.1 track, and ESPECIALLY not even in the same leage as the STUNNING DTS 5.1 track(!), one of the best ever on LD!

Toshiba DVD 5.1 output question.
So my question is, when listening to a Dolby 5.1 encoded dvd, how much sound should I expect to hear from the rear channels? With contemporary films that were designed for surround sound in their theatrical releases: lots. For old films that pre-date multichannel film audio: usually not much.

5.1 gives you the band in concert, in a hall, with an audience; it's a much more immersive experience, and way cool.

5:1 Surround sound question - defective DVD????
I'm not sure which way I'm leaning yet (I'll probably upgrade both eventually, so the question is really which to upgrade first, the display and DVD player or add 5.1). This doesn't make much sense to me. You will need a DVD player to play 5.1 sound. I'd say upgrade the sound first, and together with it,

Hi, OK, Dumb question time. It's not a dumb question. I have a television with Dolby Pro-logic Surround Sound (back speakers).
