Yeah, I'm a novice. I have a home theater and thought the dts would work in the DVDs I have with it, but there was no sound at all. Anyone know why? I thought it was 5.1, but then there's a setting that usually says 5.1 below the dts setting. I'm confused.

I have an old Sony DVD player & it's hooked up to an RCA HT reciever. That's about it.

It says Dobly Digital. No dts in sight I'm afraid. I have it connected with the coax cable that came with it, but it looks an awfully lot like a normal video rca cable, yellow instead of orange as the jacks are.

If you are using a pair of RCA cables, then the best you could possibly get would be Dolby ProLogic, ProLogic II or ProLogic IIx depending on the capability of your receiver and DVD player.

There are about 5 different audio settings: Dolby PL II movie; Dolby PL II music; Dolby PL Emmulation; 3 Stereo; & Stereo. The sound is loudest and subwoofer bass is the best on Stereo. In the set up I chose F Surr Y, whatever that means, and so the back speakers work, too, in stereo. If I choose F Surr N those back speakers do nothing.

And thanks for the link to the glossary, I'll check it out!

I'm afraid your link didn't go anywhere...

Looks like you've got everything you need to enjoy dolby digital. Again, no mention of DTS in the manual, so stick with DD and you're good.

If only that were the case. I took it back; 3 speakers went out, and with the exchange, it just kept on shutting down whenever the volume was high, which means every time a loud sound passed to the speakers it would turn off.

I can't afford a good HTiB, not that there really is a good HTiB.

Thanks for the help anyway. I appriciate it!

It's max volume was 51, but I would only have it at 35-40 at max and it would shut down. My friend told me you really can't get anything of good quality from Wal-mart, which was where I got it from. Only $158, and that's the quality I got.

 

[Moviefanatic]

I never really heard anything like you've mentioned, it only turned off.

Thousands of people may not know that what they're hearing isn't quality, too, right? I think that that receiver I took back was the only type they had.
