In Reply to: Re: Please help an HT Newbe with center channel question posted by BrianC on January 27, 2002 at 09:02:22:
Brian,The analog 2-channel output from your DVD player is already a digital 5.1 to analog 2-channel downmix handled by the DVD player itself.
You probably won't be able to improve on the dialog issue until you get a DD/DTS processor and a center channel. Sorry to break the news, that's just the way it is.
If your speakers can't handle the dialog in the current 2-channel DVD player situation, it's not likely they will do any better with a DD/DTS processor and a "phantom" center option (no center speaker).
You can certainly try the "phantom" center option though, as there are many low cost receivers you could use as a prepro (not use the receivers amps, but use it as a preamp). My guess is you will need a center channel with the current L&R speakers you have now.
Follow Ups:
Thanks Bstan,Based on the foregoing discussion I think you're correct. I think I can sell my Yamaha separates on ebay for $300 or $400. I like the Harman Kardon Signature HT equipment which I think I can get on ebay for about $900 or $1,000 for the pair. Add an AR center channel speaker for about $100 (again on ebay), and I think I'll be able to make the transistion to HT for well under $1,000.
Thanks for your expertise,
Brian
