| 161140 | 2003-07-19 09:30:00 | I have a Kenwood Stereo Receiver KR V9030 (11 years old) with Prologic /3 stereo surround Mode. It has 5 channel output - centre,front x 2 & rear x 2 speakers. I now have a DVD receiver attached to it but the receiver does not have a digital, coaxial or optical input. The input is via the L/R inputs as for a video input. The surround effect from DVD'd is quite good but I am interested to know what I am missing out on by not having full digital sound processing.ie not having digital or coaxial input processed by Prologic II. |

| 161141 | 2003-07-19 10:00:00 | Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Dolby Pro-Logic II is just an enhancement of the Pro-Logic I with the major difference being that the rear speakers are in stereo... I think that has something to do with it... but then there are so many different sound formats, etc... makes it very hard to keep up with the latest and greatest! As long as you have digital out from your DVD to your amp, you should be fine. Lo. |

| 161142 | 2003-07-19 10:03:00 | Ok.... I'm a complete newbie... before anyone flames me for confusing Dolby Digital with Prologic, let me say I know I've made a boo boo! Read here (www.epinions.com) for more info... as for the difference between Pro-Logic 1 and 2, I'm sure it's something to do with stereo in the rear speakers as opposed to analog... Lo. |

| 161144 | 2003-07-19 22:16:00 | Prologic is basically a L/R stereo signal. The signal is basically copied to the rear speakers. PrologicII is different by splitting the L/R signals down to give more of a surround feeling on the rear speakers. 5.1 (which is what you are missing out on) splits the signal down to 5 channels (L/R/C/RR/LR and the subwoofer) to give a very defined and seperate signal to each speaker. PrologicII is touted to give the best surround sound from a stereo source eg; Sky Movies for your home cinema setup. Hope this helps.. PS: also try www.dolby.com |
