WhackJob Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 I hooked up an SC-1 Center, but did so by combining the front left and right channels. This was by neccesity, as I cannot power it with the center channel output from my decoder. My question is.... Basically it works, but am I missing anything that way, or is that a decent solution? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenten Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 The purpose of the center channel is central in 5.1 decoding. It delivers most of the dialoge and action. It receives a seperate channel of information form the receiver as do the mains. Why can't you pull from the "center out" on your receiver? Yes, you are missing something. By blending the mains you will miss sound effects like left to right movements etc. Also, do you have rear speakers and a sub? These also add to the seperation and overall ambience. Is it a good solution? Well it's kinda relative! Please tell us what kind of system you have and the problem with it. Sure you are going to get the sound out of the movie, just not how the director intended it to come across. Is this a big deal? Kinda up to you, many of us go to great lengths to get it just right. Me, heck I love my system and have less than 3K in it.......errr for now! Man what a great hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
