jhawk92 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Mine arrived yesterday, but didn't get a chance to demo it. Will do that tonight. Love free stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Mine arrived yesterday also. The THX trailers are nice but nothing to write home about. There are a couple of good videos on there however. I can't complain... it was free for crying out loud.

QUiKSR20 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I got mine yestereday the demos were pretty cool If my dvd player played it with no problem does that mean its capable of DVD Audio It sounded awesome. I wonder how good that entre thing works sounds like a good idea. ------------------ Thanks, Daryl Gregg MY Home Theatre Page Sony STR-DE975 HT Reciever Sony DVP-NS400D DVD SB-3 Mains SC-1 Center Quintet Rears KSW-12 Sub AR Proseries Interconects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Ok, I listened to this disc over the weekend. Yes, it is basically an advertisement for Kenwood, but then what do you expect. The videos were pretty good, and the "new" music by the Birds was pretty good too. However, the TEX trailer and "Jungle Sounds" fell flat. Why? Because it ignored the rear center channel. I have a copy of the THX-EX disc from Lucasfilm and those tracks on that disc are incredible. The Kenwood versions were significantly duller in sound and not great to show off a system. The THX-EX disc is! On the plus side, they did explain some of the technical info pretty good; especially the SHARC processors. I knew they were good, but I didn't understand the mechanics behind it. Anything to help my understanding of the industry is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 jhawk, what do you mean they ignore the rear center? On the Tex demo, the little guy stops right in the rear center, makes a sawing sound, then hits himself with a hammer, all perfectly in the rear center. Also real good localized bass in the rears, and rear center, if your system is set up to handle it. As far as the jungle sounds, I don't know. I never thought it was that amazing on the original, but I admit it wasn't how I remembered it. All in all though, pretty cool for a quick demo to show someone what surround sound is all about. I don't think I'd show it to try and impress anyone who was already into surround sound, just the uninitiated. And you can't beat the price. QUICKSR, the demo playing in your DVD player doesn't mean it's DVD-Audio capable, because DVD-Audio discs have an extra layer for Dolby Digital or DTS, so that might have been what you heard, DD and DTS will pass through a digital cable, DVD Audio will not. You need multi channel inputs hooked up to get the full effect of DVD Audio. The Entre thing is definitely cool, but I don't know if it works with other equipment, and I sure wouldn't buy that UGLY looking receiver. I'm going to check into whether or not it would work with my stuff. ------------------ My Home Theater This message has been edited by toddvj on 03-20-2002 at 12:34 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Todd- I'll try to reconstruct what I remember. You may be right, TEX stops and saws, hits himself, but I seem to remember they are in the surrounds, not the rear center. I'll try it again to be sure. On the Jungle sounds, the footsteps, helicopter, and fly all skip the rear center. Also, the "gain" is much lower on this disc than the "factory" ones; same volume setting on my Denon for both and the Kenwood disc was quieter. Maybe it knows it's being used on a non-Kenwood system.

Marathon Man Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 jhawk92, Are you speaking of the Lucasfilms WOW! disc? If so where did you get it from, and can you get me one? I did order this one because its free, but I would really like to get my hands on the WOW disc. BTW thanks toddvj for the tip on the kenwood demo. ------------------ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
