Dolby Pro-Logic II

Posted by rico (A) on March 29, 2004 at 10:02:55

Over the weekend my pre-amp/processor failed. I replaced it with an NAD model. I was concerned that the NAD did not have a built in RF demodulator for the 12-15 or so laserdiscs (out of some 900) with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack.

But the NAD, in addition to having all the 6.1 and 7.1 codecs, includes two types of Pro Logic II. This more than makes up for the
no RF demodulator issue. What a sweet codec! And it's almost miraculous that a stereo laserdisc can be made to sound very close to a 5.1 system, with front to back pans, etc.

So I am delighted and will be digging out the old discs as well as newer DVDs.

Having tied all the settings on stereo music, however, I'd have to say that they're getting closer but plain old stereo still sounds the most natural to these ears.
