In Reply to: All the sound is in PCM digital, it is .... posted by John C. - Aussie on October 11, 2000 at 14:29:56:
I am not looking for surround sound. However, something is lost when playing back Dolby Digital DVDs in this type of configuration. Stereophile had an article a few years back about how Dolby Digital can be down converted, or something, for those who do not have a Dolby Digital capable system. They noted, and I concur, that there is a loss in dynamics, particularly bass. Yes, the ideal would be to simply go the home theater route, but at present I can't do that. There are no problems with Dolby Pro Logic material in terms of dynamics (again, I am not talking about surround effects behind my head). My question is whether or not a surround processor capable of handling Dolby Digital can be configured for two channel thus avoiding this down conversion process and maintaining the dynamics. I recall that my old Pro Logic processor had the feature of placing all ambient info in the two front left and right speakers. I don't know if Dolby Digital processors can do the same thing. Again, thanks for any help.
