    DTS Neo 6 vs. Dolby Pro Logic II (CONSOLIDATED THREAD)

    Hi Since most aduio cd's are mixed while using only 2 speakers I assume they intend to be played on a stereo system... Any dsp, no matter how good or sophisticated it is, will change ! the original intention of the artiste or the sound engineer. As far to the DPLII or NEO6...

    digital coax vs optical

    common-sense ... By using the coax cable you are transferring the "bits" as is ( electricity through a copper string ) Transferring the data through the optical cable will require some conversion process which can couse loss of data and more error the your decoder should handle. Unless you...

    A question regarding Bass level management &DTS Page

    Hello Vince ! Thank you for your response. As I mentioned before, the DTS card was an upgrade. The Onkyo 939 came only with a DD decoder.As I understand the DTS card is bypassing the Onkyo processor and do all the DTS decoding by it self routing the signal into the Onkyo preamp. So none DTS...

    what could cause this problem?

    It sounds like an impedance problem. Is the old amp rated 4 ohm or 8 ohm ? It also can be a defective speaker. Try to hook them one at a time and see what happens. Cheers ...

    Onkyo TX-SR600 back to the store

    I remind you all the the Layer Switch audio problem start first at the player itself. While some DVD's won't pause at all , other will pause for a second or so . So it is possible that same receivers will behave differently at the layer switch point. I'm sure that the TX-SR600 with a...
