I was very excited to try out the new DVD Audio technology, so I ran out and bought "B.B. King & Eric Clapton- Riding with the King". It sounds great, but I have a few questions. 1. The case says that it has 4 ways to output. Advanced Resolution Surround Advanced Resolution Stereo DVD-Video compatible Dolby Digital And DTS 5.1 Surround Sound But when I put in the disk it only gives me the options of Surround or Stereo. Which do I choose for best sound? 2. Why does my receiver not highlight DTS? It says it is reading Liner PCM 3. What is your favorite DVD Audio disk?

SO YOU PROBABLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY NOW. IF NOT READ THIS: The DVD-Audio specification requires PCM audio while the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio formats are optional. 11/15/2000 - For compatibility with DVD-Video players, DVD-Audio discs can include audio encoded in Dolby Digital and DTS formats that satisfy the DVD-Video specification. However, DVD-Audio players automatically default to the highest level of DVD specification. Therefore, a DVD-Audio player will only recognize the PCM DVD-Audio tracks on a DVD-Audio disc and will NOT recognize Dolby Digital or DTS audio tracks recorded at the DVD-Video specification. Although these Dolby Digital and DTS tracks are playable on a DVD-Video player, they are invisible to a DVD-Audio player. This applies even if the player supports the DVD-Video specification.

THANX. ALL THE TALK ABOUT BUILDING YOUR OWN CABLES GOT ME THINKING.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MY COMPONENT VIDEO CABLES ABOUT 2 FT. LONGER. WOULD I BE ABLE TO SPLICE SOME CABLE IN THE MIDDLE?
