In Reply to: Re: MANY people use only 2 channels for DVD!!! That is fine. posted by hamster on January 01, 2002 at 23:27:35:
Billiam not only doesn't understand , but incorrectly states what is necessary to enjoy stereo output from a DVD system.I don't begrudge people who want to use stereo to listen to DVD, let's just get the facts correct;
1) Stereo isn't what the director intended on most DVDs, and doesn't re-create the 3D soundscape originally created by the director.
2) You don't need Dolby 2.0 to enjoy a DD 5.1 DVD in stereo.

Follow Ups:
You have obviously never heard a well set up, high end two channel system. One of the things which separates high end in two channel is the ability of the system to recreate a holographic sound stage. The instruments are in the room, in their own three dimensional space (both in front of and behind the plane of the speakers).That being said, I have never been able to recreate this type of sound stage when a TV is in the middle of the speakers, but have been able to do this with a front projector system.

gjg,Your quote referring to my experiences:
------------------------------------------------------------
"You have obviously never heard a well set up, high end two channel system."
-------------------------------------------------------------Guess I'll have to dispute that unfounded claim, as I get an absolutely phenomenal two channel holographic sound stage with my equipment. Of course this ultimately depends on how well the 2-channel recording was mastered.
Your quote describing two channel holographic sound stage:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"The instruments are in the room, in their own three dimensional space (both in front of and behind the plane of the speakers)."
--------------------------------------------------------------------You are correct and I agree. I can hear a female vocalist 6 feet in front of me wetting her lips (1 foot out in front of my main's speaker plane), her voice originating from a mic 5 feet high, with various instruments supporting her up to 12 feet or more directly behind her as well as to the left and right.
So as you can tell, I have experienced as you said, "a well set up, high end two channel system."
To re-interate what I did say, you cannot CORRECTLY experience the 3D holographic soundstage created by the director on a 5.1 DD/DTS DVD media with a two-channel playback system.I never said the two-channel playback system didn't produce good, even holographic type sound, simply that it did NOT recreate the director's intented 3D soundscape.
