Re: Do you mean front projector?

Dolby 2ch is passed straight through by a 2ch system. The reason for playing dolby 2ch encoded is because the surround information would be encoded out of phase, so when played back in a 2ch system, it would sound like it is coming from nowhere specific, somewhat akin to what a Dolby prologic surround system would sound like.

The sound from a DVD, namely Dolby or DTS soundtrack, are in theory higher quality than that of a CD player. But the main reason for a DVD over a VCR is the video quality, including resolution, color and noise. If you project that VCR with its 220 line of resolution onto your 72x48 wall, you will either have to sit pretty far away or not try to focus or conecntrate so much on the image, because if you do, your eyes will try to focus that blurry image and you eventually will get a headache from it.

If you prefer the sound of a VCR's audio track to CD's, then maybe you could pass the CD/DVD player's sound through one of those FM transmitters like Mr Microphone so that it sounds more like a VCR's sound.
