eddieras Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 i just (finally) got my set up- denon 2802, SF2, SS1, SC 1, and KSW10. but i need a primer on dolby, 5.1, surround, dts etc.. what's the differences? also, if a movie is listed as DOLBY, does that mean it's surround or 5.1?? what about regualar HBO movies, without the dolby symbol? do these sound different than the ones that state dolby? any/all help would be greatly appreciated!!

hwatkins Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Gosh - this is a question that can get some lengthy responces on this board. My suggestion is to read through Dolby Labs FAQs to get the idea.

M6 Driver Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Okay Dolby B,C that would be noise reduction of sorts this was the talk of the town back in the day of the tape deck and used in film today Dolby Surround Left/Right stereo while the surrounds are mono and the same signal goes to both Dolby Pro Logic same as above but add in the center channel Dolby Pro Logic 2 not sure best guess would be 5 channel stereo Dolby Digital 5 descrete channels of sound all full range and and a .1 for the LFE hence the subwoofer Dolby Digital EX and an extra channel for a center rear surround plus the .1 DTS digital theater surround a rival of Dolby 5.1 DTS ES rival of Dolby Digital EX (6.1) this should help you some ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble maker Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 The faq on the Denon Web site is also very good at explaining differences. You may want to take a quick peek as to their take. Also has some good setup info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 in addition to jt's great primer, u may also wanna check out www.dtsonline.com some movie channels like hbo, showtime, starz do broadcast certain movies in DD 5.1 (i've even got a few in DD 5.1 EX lately). to get that though you need a digital cable tv or sat box that has a digital audio output (usually optical for sat & coax for cable tv) that you run into a digital input of your receiver or pre/pro. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
