|   Get 5.1 from Pro Logic and DVD w/Decoder? | lostdude
Oct 21, 2002 4:55 PM | | I got a pass down old Pioneer A/V receiver that only supports Pro Logic but I seen some DVD player that has its own 5.1 and DTS decoder built-in. So is it possible to use this combination somehow to get me 5.1 sound? The only inputs I see on the Pioneer is Left Right so am I screwed?

In order to use a DVD player with a Dts/DD decoder onboard you must have a 5.1 ready receiver with the necessary analog inputs. If you only have L/R inputs, the your receiver is not 5.1 ready.
