You need to engage Dolby ProLogic (Dolby PL, Dolby PLII) or whatever DSP your AVR has that takes 2.0 digital audio and processes it to 5.1 These DSP's can be applied to *any* digital audio input (Digital Coax, Digital Optical) Standard Dolby 5.1 won't do this because it is relying on 2 ch audio encoded with Dolby coding for what sounds go to which speakers.
I do not use these DSP's for music but I have several to choose from on my Yamaha: Dolby, Neural (DTS), SRS Then, within each DSP, there are different "types" you can apply to the audio: straight (no effect), sports, entertainment, music, etc.. Then within the music "types" you can choose different "effects", ex: with music DSP you can choose: concert hall, live performance, studio, rock hall, etc... It's fun to play around with these DSP's and various effects, but I never actually use them for any music, I find the effects distracting. Also, depending on your AVR capabilities and your surround setup, you can also: - use 5 ch or 7 ch "stereo" mode, all speakers basically playing the same audio - these DSP's can be applied to 7.1, 9.1, 11.1 speaker systems using Dolby PLIIex (for example) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75553 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
