It is sometimes amazing what just one component can do for a system.
I have a "fair" DVD player. Last month I was talking to my son about it and he told me that I did not have it connected to my reciver in the best way. I had the left/ right DVD audio output connected to my receiver dvd input and let the receiver do its "magic" for surround.
He said that I should connect to my reciver via the optical output to get full Dolby 5.1. Since I do have one and only one optical input on my old receiver, I tried it.
Well, last Friday evening, we watched U-571 again. When those depth charges went off, it was like being inside that submarine. Part of the difference could be the new VP-150 and M80s, but I really think the majority of the difference was the actual Dolby 5.1 feed.
The Rat.
