HD DVD is Dead??????
I do have a LCD projector I use for movies sometimes but even that is only 800x600. Honestly, I think a good quality hi-fi VCR produces an acceptable picture. has to scale lower resolutions, but on a CRT projector I can see much less difference. The sound of a good hi-fi VHS deck is good, but it lacks 5.1 surround.

DTS Vs. DD
After watching it right through, I decided to have a trawl through the menus etc. to see if I could squeeze anything else out of it.... I changed the sound setting from 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround EX to English 2.0 Dolby Surround. When I then viewed the scenes that caught my ears in the cinema, namely when the large

However, I am having some difficulty getting the 5.1 surround sound to work through my home theatre system, and the receiver's manual doesn't explain how to get it to work properly. So far, I have ran audio cords from the HD receiver to the "Video 2" inputs in my home theatre receiver. I have also ran the digital

PowerDVD/CLMEI/ProLogic question
You might have been talking about that, I was talking about the subject, which was that the OP had a Macbook that he wanted to connect a Logitech z5500 to and couldn't do 5.1 surround, because, like almost all notebook computers, both Mac and Windows, it didn't have surround-sound outputs.

SubGenius Stereotypes
I'm not sure if you have the equipment but if you don't, I would select the Dolby Surround track because it is a true surround track, the 5.1 will still give you stereo and surround but it will be a "downmixed" Dolby Surround from the 5.1 soundtrack. In most people's books a downixed 5.1 surround doesn't sound

Logitech z5500 on a macbook
When I do the speaker test in the surround mixer, I can only hear the tests for "front right" and "front left." Is that supposed to be happening? Yes, the digital output only works for 5.1 surround with the DTT3500, otherwise you need to have 5.1 analog inputs on your reciver (the controlling box thingy) and

I finally have the Beatles in 5.1 surround and I can't do drugs
One thing, it seems that if you are going to get a stereo monitor that will eventually be expanded to 5.1 it should be 2 smaller speakers and a sub. Other good surround systems that I've heard have been little Genelecs (like you mentioned), and the Dynaudios did very well too. I use Quested for my stereo mains,

For Sale or Trade
The 2-channel audio sent out by your Samsung TV can be decoded into "surround" by the Dolby Pro circuitry in your audio receiver, but it will not be the 5.1 Audio that was on the DVD or HDTV signal. If you want 5.1 Audio, you need to run an optical or digital cable from the source to the receiver, as you have done.

DD 5.1 Broadcasts
The first key question is, why does anyone want surround mixing? I can see a couple of possible answers: 1) I want to score a film, and all DVD buyers expect Dolby 5.1 sound. 2) I have saturated the market for stereo fans, and want to deliver SACD or DVD-A multi-channel to the market 3) my new compositions require

I was born with built-in 5:1 surround sound. No wonder I don't fit in: its a format clash. Didn't you get the memo? I've had it with your threats, loser.

Multichannel Hell
Not all DVDs with Dolby Digital or DTS are going to carry 5.1 channel tracks. It is fairly common to see DVDs released with channel configurations from 1.0 mono, 2.0 mono, 2.0 stereo and 2.0 Pro-Logic Surround. 3.0, 3.1, 4.0 and 4.1 mixes are pretty rare to see on DVD, but they can be done. Most DTS DVDs have 5.1

General Dolby Digital/SB Live! Questions
As even you describe this disc, it really isn't a "5.1" mix, it sounds more like "4.0". I think my problem is with the disc being advertised as "5.1" mix. It could have been simply advertised as a "multi-channel surround sound mix" instead. But as I said elsewhere, it is a sort of marketing tool now to tout
