Hi all,

I am waiting for my SONY HTDDW750 Home Theatre Kit to be delivered. It say`s on the below link that it`s dts and pro logic 2 and something else to which i don`t understand, but what I`d like to know is if it is capable of playing Dolby Digital 5.1?
Or do I have to buy a different unit for Dolby Digital 5.1?

Any help would be fantastic and much appreciated. Thank you!

This unit does do Dolby Digital (DD) 5.1

All the best,

The 42%er.

I`ve done a bit of checking, and (no thanks to Sony, by the way), your new kit will handle DD5.1 and DTS with no problems. I think it will offer the extra trickery of EX mixes in both systems. It will also handle 2-channel stereo signals better (such as satellite, video recorder etc.) Pro Logic and Pro Logic 2 give surround effects from these sorts of sources.

Be very happy, you`ve got a hot piece of kit on the way!

I have an open mind - everything goes in one ear and out the other.
