Nov 29, 2001 11:16 AM | | I'm a newbie to this HT stuff.I'm planning to buy a HT SYSTEM.
My guess is o/p from all 6 speakers (in a 5.1 setup) is possible only when palying a DVD or a CD and NOT from cable channles.
Is it a good guess? is there a way to get soung from all 6 speakers from a TV broadcast????
I know its a stupid question but .. |

Nov 29, 2001 11:38 AM | | 1) You subject, while being very eye catching, is annoying and ridiculous. Use common type and lose the asterisks. There is no urgency or special case that warrants the use of such dramatics.
2) Most current receivers have a DSP that uses all speakers. Denon for example has a 5-channel stereo mode that works very well. Yamaha has this same feature.
Sorry, long day. |

Nov 29, 2001 11:41 AM | | With a DVD u will get the sound from all 6 channels, (5.1) since it is encoded in dolby digital or dts 5.1. Most cd's are stereo, though i am not sure about dts cds. Cable is also stereo. Many receivers now come with Dolby Prologic II or DTS Neo:6 which use algorithms to try to convert the stereo signal to 5.1. Another mode you could use is 5 channel stereo which doesn't alter the signal. Most people dont like the other DSP's that receivers offer. |

Nov 30, 2001 9:04 AM | | THANKS GUYS FOR THROWING LIGHT ON THIS.
Now I know what to expect from a receiver( that is DPL II).

Nov 29, 2001 2:53 PM | | TV broadcasts are usually recorded with stereo electronics. The microphones pick up sound from all directions, and like these guys have said, DSP modes like Dolby Pro Logic II decode the stereo (or sometimes mono) signal and split it into four or more channels thru use of the decoder's fancy algorithms. The result should be the sound the way it was heard in the recording studios.

Nov 29, 2001 3:29 PM | | 1."TV broadcasts are usually recorded with stereo electronics"
A. Almost all broadcast are done in multitrack-mono mixed to stereo, or mono dialog with stereo recorded music. As far as I know, there are no true stereo soundfield recording techniques being imployed for tv audio except for the music.
2. "The microphones pick up sound from all directions, and like these guys have said, DSP modes like Dolby Pro Logic II decode the stereo (or sometimes mono) signal and split it into four or more channels thru use of the decoder's fancy algorithms"
A. Yes, some microphones picks up sounds from all directions, that is if its a omnipolar microphone. Most mikes used for recording dialog in broadcast are highly directional(hyper or super cardiod, better known as shotgun mikes) to keep from picking up external noises during broadcast. The pickup of a omni-directional mike is from all directions, but it is summed to mono during pickup. No one uses stereo mikes for recording dialog, so it will not trigger the directional circuits of any processor. Dialog is likely to be mono regardless if DPL or DPLII is used. 5 channel stereo does send dialog to all channels, but it sounds like crap. Unless a stereo microphone is imployed, all broadcast recording is done multitrack mono.
3."The result should be the sound the way it was heard in the recording studios. "
The studio is usually a very dry acoustic. Most homes have very lively acoustics. After the station compresses, limits, and applies variable gain for broadcast, by the time we recieve it, it sounds nothing like the studio feed direct to the mixer. I can assure you on that.
By the way, for the people who think I am mean young fart, I did this post with a smile, while whistling and tapping my feet. This is to show the kinder, gentler me. I am determine to lose the orgre' of the year honor to someone else in 2002. :^)
