| 360161 | 2005-06-01 03:48:00 | I have set up a Home Theatre and wonder if members can tell me some DVD titles with good surround sound. Many that I have watched are not that good and it appears that NZ does not get the good sound tracks beyond 5:1? Any suggestions will be appreciated. |

There is a movie about a second world war german U boat which is excellent apparently (sorry, I haven't watched it myself) but I can't remember the name but its something like U609. |

| 360166 | 2005-06-01 06:19:00 | Saving Private Ryan is another goodie, the sound of bullets flying here, there and everywhere is fantastic. Perhaps you need to play around with your speaker placement. Rear speakers should be at ear height or higher, and pointing towards the listener not towards the front. Have a look here (www.dolby.com) for info on correct speaker placement Read you receiver's manual for tips and any relevant settings that you could try. |

| 360167 | 2005-06-01 07:22:00 | Give the Fifth Element a try. Most Home theatre demo's I have been to use this. |

| 360169 | 2005-06-01 12:39:00 | Star Wars DVDs are the best for testing and enjoying your surround, imho.... or you can also try Matrix 1, 2 or 3... |

| 360170 | 2005-06-01 22:24:00 | I saw Empire Of The Sun on a Surrond Sound Home Movie setup and the scene where the P51 Mustangs attacked was unreal, as they came from behind to fly overhead and to the front the sound followed them. Trevor :) |
