DTS Questions

[aabruce]

I have got a surround sound speker system with an inbuilt Amp which has a Dolby converter and AC3 converter... i have connected it it to my DVD player which has an inbuild DTS converter, but will I get DTS sound through my system?

if the dvd player has a onboard dts decoder and you have hooked up the 6 out to your 6 input on the reciever AND if there is dts audio on the dvd - yes


if the dvd player has dts out digital and you hooked that to your dts digital in on your reciever (assuming your reciever can decode dts - it should be marked) AND if there is dts on the dvd - yes

Whats a 6 out and 6 input?.. I have conected the DVD player (with dts) to the receiver using the coax connection... waiting for my optical lead!

The 6out refers to some DVD players (such as the Sony NS500V) that have an onboard 5.1 decoder and 6 RCA-type jacks on the back that you can plug speakers into without needing a seperate decoder/receiver. So basically, instead of the standard two red/white|right/left RCA that you normally see on the back your everyday player, you see six ports.. left/right/sleft/sright/lfe/center. It's similar to many computer sound cards (esp the older ones) where you would need two or more 2.5mm outs on a soundcard that went into multiple speaker sets (one set plugged into front jack, one set plugged into surround jack) or a speaker could do surround with the multiple inputs.
