A 6.1 Channel for only $600. Ok, it's got only 65watts per channel but their discrete. This is their first A/V on the market, so reliability maybe an issue, but it is backed by a 5 Year warranty.Any thoughts?
Hi Boo,I think this will really be a great receiver when it comes out. I may get one in a year or so. Here's my question. OutlawAudio did not get THX cert. on the Dolby Surround EX, so will it still sound the same on 6.1 encoded DVD's? My guess is that they got the algorithm close enough to sound the same. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the subject.
Also, on regular 5.1 DVD's will the rear center be active (matrixed from L&R rears) or completely turned off. It would be a waste if the only time it was put to use was when playing 6.1 DVD's. Will it be incorporated in a music surround format for playing standard CD's? What are the music surround DSP's to be included on the 1050?
Lot's of questions; there isn't a lot of info on the site.
Regards,
RichardH
Quote from Outlaw's site:"Through the use of Zoran's ZR38650 multi-format digital audio processor IC, the new Outlaw receiver delivers precise decoding from all popular digital and analog surround formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Surround and other analog based matrix surround systems. Outlaw's designers worked with Zoran to develop three additional new analog surround modes as well as the proprietary algorithm for Outlaw's Surround 6.1 process. "
Since the ZR38650 was developed to only support existing formats, DD, DTS, DPL etc. I am guessing that the 3 'proprietary algorithms'(likely to support 6.1) they talk about are loaded onto the ZR38650, since it is a programmable chip.
The extra channel in 6.1 by the way is matrixed, meaning that the rear Left/Right channels are processed to extract a third center rear channel. Much like how Dobly Pro Logic gets 4 channels out of 2.
If you check out the Zoran site they list most of the A/V Receiver manufacturers as clients, including Lexicon, Linn. With a client list like that, I have no doubt of the excellent quality that the 1050 will likely provide, as long as they do everything else right.
I had no idea that these companies used Zoran. Although I'm sure it's different chips, etc., it does inspire confidence in me for the upcoming 1050. Hmmmm, will it sell more than the Denon 3300?Thanks for the info.
