Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

To quote "Mr Krab"...

I smell the smelly smell of a smell that smells smelly.

Besides the theater, you will find EX encoding on DVDs, D-Theater tapes and HDTV/digital movie feeds. There are no CDs with EX encoding -- none. You used the "CD" description twice, so maybe this is your problem (the EX 5.1 was re-encoded to stereo for a copied version of Finding Nemo). Are you really playing a DVD or an SVCD (or VCD)?

If the rest of your movies play fine, there's no reason Finding Nemo shouldn't give you the same experience (more or less). It was recorded in Dolby Digital EX 5.1, so the only way to get 2-channel output from the DVD player is to use the DD --> PCM conversion. And in that case, the rest of your movies would be presented in stereo as well.

You mentioned that you have tried the coax/TOSlink connections in one post, yet in another you mention waiting for a DVD player with a digital output as being a factor. That's clearly conflicting information. If you meant a digital output for video, what does that have to do with your digital audio comments?

By the way, the THX logo is meaningless -- in more ways than one.
