emichon Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Well I got bad news. I heard that there might not be a new Digital Decoder, cause there's not a big enough demand for a product like that. So it looks that we're stuck with buying the Creative Labs one(unfortunately) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emichon Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Directly from someone working at Klipsch. I hope they'll change their minds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 oh basically without the remote you cannot even change the volume. All that you can do without the remote is turn it off or on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald1800 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Amy - I'm glad to hear that the DD5.1 decoder replacement isn't a dead issue. My DD5.1 is a fine decoder/preamp. I can't imagine any features it doesn't already have, other than ProLogic II, and I use every one of them! If the replacement included ProLogic II, I just might sell my DD5.1 to someone here for the new one as long as I don't lose one of the other features I already have. It would HAVE to be a true upgrade of the DD5.1 with NO down-side. While I'm here, I would like to openly thank all of the customer service dept. for the prompt PM5.1 exchange determination and shipment. There are times when dealing with a first class reputable company makes a BIG difference - this was one of those times. I really don't think this outcome would have occured with ANY other audio company, seriously. I would recommend Klipsch products to anyone. The new Ultra PM5.1 is a TRUE upgrade. I am VERY pleased with it's use as a livingroom HT system for my Sony 27" NHD TV and Xbox gaming system. Sweet. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yeah I need to add that decoder and the new sws sub whenever they both come out I should have saved up money by the time they come out. but i really wish it was sooner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DReborn Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I just wanted to make sure that this new DD5.1 would work for me. I want to use my promedia ultra 5.1's in my living room for my HTPC setup. First off, the decoder basically works in between my computer and my TV, yes? Like a mini receiver? Secondly, is the ultra 5.1's center channel strong enough to watch movies/listen to diologue? I've had some issues getting the center channel up high enough to cleanly hear the diologue. Any tricks on that anyways? =) By the way, it is an apartment living room so it isn't too large but I still want to be able to listen to music, watch movies, TV, etc. THANKS!

Q-Ball Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I went from my onbard soundstorm from my abit nforce 2 NF7-S and I went online and ordered a SB Audigy 2 ZS. The center channel is much better for games and movies. I was really impressed with the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DReborn Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 That's interesting...I am using the onboard sound from my Abit IS7-G and personally I think it sounds great minus the weak center channel for diologue. Do you think it would make a difference if I upgraded to a audigy zs ad the new kilpsch decoder (if it ever comes out)? Also I have an "old" SB Live (or it might be an audigy)...would that help as well? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
