In Reply to: DVD with Prologic--how much do you lose? posted by Dr. T on July 06, 2001 at 18:14:03:
There are a good many DVD players with Dolby Digital decoders built in (Toshiba has some, from ~$250 on up). You could get one of those and have the best of both worlds. You could use the receiver as the front end for DD or use prologic when you want to. You might have to pony up for amplification for the rears though, if your receiver doesn't allow for it.
Follow Ups:
Thanks, I had wondered about that possibility. But seems like a rather complicated hookup. I am not sure how to integrate the prologic processor with the DD processor from the DVD.
It's not hard. All you do is go from the DVD front outs to the receiver ins. That's your front channel. If the receiver has dolby surround, then when you want to use prologic, just switch to that at the DVD player. If you want to use Dolby digital and your receiver doesn't have separated inputs and outputs for rear channels then you'll need a separate amp for the rear channels. The DVD rear outs would go to that amp. The DVD player has a feature where you can balance all the channels.All this is a bit clumsier than having a dedicated HT control center but it saves money and once the system is set up you'll probably leave it alone and won't need all the control that a HT preamp would give.
