Recorders that encode Dolby Digital 2.0?

[harold_smith8]

The Philips DVDR615 says it encodes audio in Dolby Digital 2.0. Do any other models encode this way? I haven't seen it expressed in those terms on any other model spec sheet I have looked at. Does anyone know if the Magnavox MRV640 does?

Thanks

Philips owns Magnavox . I assume it would be the same. The Magnavox is most likely a Philips DVDR70 in disguise.
I do agree...these companies need to state whether they use AC3 or LPCM audio IN BIG WRITING.

They need the little icon to show what they mean for sure, but here is a list of all of the basic configurations for Digital Dolby. This chart goes up to 5.1 but dolby has gone beyond that now. For more info see their site
www.dolby.com

1/0 Center
2/0 Left, Right
3/0 Left, Center, Right
2/1 Left, Right, Surround
3/1 Left, Center, Right, Surround
2/2 Left, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround
3/2 Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround

The .1 is the LFE (Low Freq. Emitter)

Also from the Dolby web site:

P.S. The new Video Maker Mag has a review of recorders and it lists what audio formats each can record.[/url]

I thought they all did AC3, everything I've seen does.
