@GTKTheater --- Is THX certification just for the theater, or is it given to VCRs, LD players, DVD players, BD players, etc. too? *And when about to the VHSs, LDs, DVDs, and BDs, etc. themselves?*
THX Certification has been around for a long time 1983, and not just for the Theaters, VHS I know was compatible and of course the newer media technologies. THX just insures that what you are listening to sounds as close as possible to the mixing engineer's intentions.
Good video. Still learning how to set up and get the best sound from my LD and DVD/BD players. Finally got my AC-3 LD set up into the Onkyo TX-NR609 and sounds amazing. Am having a bit more issues with DTS on BD but I think my player doesn’t decode it and need a newer or higher end one.
Hello ! Maybe you can help with the following question.... I have the somewhat oldie Onkyo HT-R390. When I try selecting the listening modes options, the display does now show me any DTS or Dolby D options. 1) Does that mean my source is not transmitting DTS or Dolby D? 2) I ask because Im using a optical audio cable, so maybe that would be the reason (from TV to receiver, to transmit audio of the TV apps)?; 3) I can select Neo 6 DTS and that option lights up a red DTS logo on the display, but does that mean Im getting DTS 5.1 from my BDs or is it just upscalling stereo to 5.1 speakers?
This is a coplicated question, I will post more in the future so be sure to subscribe, You will want to study your manual, starting on page 21 here is a link assets.onkyo-av.com/product-manuals/Own-Man-3400_HT-R390_290_En_web_2022-11-02-203927_zemy.pdf?v=1667421567 This will help The Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is connected to the AV receiver with a digital audio connection (coaxial, optical, or HDMI). • The listening modes you can select depends on the format of the input signal. To check the format, see “Displaying Source Information” (➔ page 25). • While a pair of headphones is connected, you can select the following listening modes: Mono, Direct, and Stereo. • While Speakers A and B are on, you can select only the Direct, Stereo, Mono, or T-D (Theater-Dimensional) listening mode.
So this support for DTS X or Dolby Atmos, should that be supported by the TVs? If the TV doesnt support DTS X but the connected speaker does support DTS X, would the sound work?
It is my understanding that all the newer formats are backwards compatible, and so you get the lowest usable format by your hardware. Now, your TV or soundbar can may be able to decode and play some form of Atmos or DTX but more importantly if you connect it to surround sound AVR if it can receive and transmit Atmos or DTS to your Surround sound AVR it will give you the full Atmos / DTS experience. Thanks for the Question!
Its a very interesting subject matter to understand as more advanced technology is being incorporated into the main sound speakers of televisions, like the Qled/Olead televisions and upwards. It would be very iinteresting of knowing from viewers: What Dolby Atmos and others of object based surround sound, actually sound like,from the main television speakers, especially listening to various types of sound programmes in the home.
So if I have a 5.1 receiver and am burning a disc should I select to remove the HD mastered audio since I cannot take advantage to the 7.1 or will the HD mastered audio still sound better on a five point one system?
Here is the simple answer, Take the full 7.1 and a 5.1 system will play the core 5.1 audio. Here is the technical answer, HD Mastered Audio encodes an audio master in lossy DTS first, then stores a concurrent stream of supplementary data representing whatever the DTS encoder discarded. This gives DTS-HD MA a lossy "core" able to be played back by devices that cannot decode the more complex lossless audio.
My old Pioneer receiver used to have a (THX sound) mode I'm not sure what it did, but my guess is that it was some kind of bass boost. My Denon 4700 doesn't have anything like that, but it's also not THX certified like my old Pioneer was.
Most likely when you selected THX on your old amp it would change the sound channels to match the original source to override your settings. Thanks for watching!
I may have missed it, but the most important aspect of Dolby TrueHD and Dts HD when released for the bluray launch were their lossless pcm capabilities vs the lossy compression used for DD and DTS on ld and dvd.
Great video, thanks for spreading awareness! But I think it would have been good to explain that Dolby True HD and DTS MA (as well as Dolby Atmos on a 4K Blu-ray) was a huge upgrade - getting an uncompressed studio master in your living room, thanks to the larger disc capacities on a Blu-ray Disc compared to a compressed audio format on a DVD and streamed version.
From what I understand, this is an older 5.1 AVR and it the two parts are needed to get the full 5.1 experience, you could try it but think you will need the DP-870 for this system to split up the channels fully. I could be wrong... Thanks for the question!
I have the Nvidia shield pro 2019 connected to my LG S95QR soundbar that's connected to my LG TV (55UN7300PTC) it plays all audio but i have to disable Digital audio output on the vcl medial player and change audio channel to play DTS HD MA over the shield connection.
So, are the listening modes a kind of set and forget type config or are people actively adjusting LM based on source input when watching? My DTV and Sony PS 5 both deliver Dolby to my AVR so i feel like i can get away with setting Direct LM mode and then I dont really have to think about it, but for my StreamBox input (Roku 4k Ultra), the signal is all over depending on what content is playing... some content rendered w/ different types of 5.1, some stereo, etc. So in the case of the streambox input... two questions that are kind of intermingled - i read that Dolby Surround mode will upmix the 2chan stereo for a better experience...so do all of the Dolby LMs do that?..and if upmixing is only limited to Dolby Surround, will the AVR recognize when for ex. a Dolby Atmos signal is coming across and adjust for that on its own and then default back to Dolby Surround when the signal changes, or is it simply "locked" into the Dolby Surround LM and it will disregard that extra signal info? Sorry for the long question, its just really confusing... background on equip is a Onkyo 6050, 5.2.2 with in ceiling Atmos speakers.
My guess would be it depends on the source, I assume you are watching movies with them, if you look at the source and match it, this should give you the best sound experience. My other video should explain more, here is a link. th-cam.com/video/5i5VEyJxVoY/w-d-xo.html
Good question, kind of... if your source in one of these formats and you choose the other format on your amp it will try to work by processing it using the other format... say the Atmos format through the DTS:X format. Results will be the opposite of THX (unpredictable) Thanks for watching!
From the Web... Ultra Stereo is a cinema sound system that was developed in 1984 and was a 4/2/4 photographic sound encoding and decoding procedure compatible with (and using the same technical basic structure, with identical sound quality as) its competitor Dolby Stereo Matrix. When the industry moved away from analog soundtracks, USL transitioned to digital processing in all their audio products. In 2008, USL assembled a team of engineers to develop imaging technology for digital cinema. The result of this research and development was a leading edge digital cinema high frame rate media block and now an "all in one" media block with solid-state drives for storage. Ultra Stereo Labs continues to provide modern decoders, picture analyzers, and other devices for motion picture theaters. Thanks for the comment, I learned something new!
Great explanation!!! I have a Vizio M51a-H6 soundbar which can handle even Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digtal, and DTS as well. From my testing I see that DTS has more bass in comparison to Dolby Digital 5.1. Is this your finding as well? I dont know if this is how it is suppose to sound or it is boosting the bass.Thank you!!!
Each system will sound different based on the source, the amp / speaker design, and the mode selected. You are not crazy, your bar may have more bass when you play DTS. Most soundbars do let you adjust the bass and I find I often need to change the amount of bass depending on the movie source. Thanks for Watching!
Thanks for the video, but for the buying consumer out-there there is still a hell of a lot of confusion, because people like yourself are not telling us about the REAL REALITIES of these new sound technologies. There are Televisions on the market ( mainly Qled and Oled televisions) that will mention for eg… that a television only has Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X as a sound codec, without even mentioning the obvious for the home consumer: Dolby, Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Considering the amount of Blu-ray Discs that have a DTS 5.1 codec and Dolby 5.1 codec; what is happening in a television that is only equipped with Dolby Atmos and DTS VIrtual X sound codecs, when playing the codecs I have mentioned above, that are coming from Blu-ray Discs.? Since 2018, Samsung have stopped supporting DTS IN their televisions, so consumers have been purchasing entry level Qled televisions ( and higher) without realising there is no DTS Support in their television and Samsung as a company HAVE NOT been fully explaining this fact to the consumer. Sound formats from most Television and Blu-ray player manufacturers are not explaining sound formats very well to the home consumer. When you are watching an old film from the 1930s or 40s and it is recorded in a DTS mono 1 channel mix, WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE HOME CONSUMER WITH THEIR TELEVISION TECHNOLOGY AND BLU-RAY/4K ultra hd disc player? How does one setup a television and disc player with DTS mono channel, especially with televisions that come equipped only with Dolby atmos and DTS virtual X sound codecs?
I am not sure I understand everything you say. First of, are you sure that these TVs do not support DTS and Dolby Digital? Even if they do not list it separately, I am quite sure that they are backwards compatible. A DTS-HD track also always has a normal DTS track, so systems that do not support DTS-HD, but DTS, can actually play it. I do not see why a company would support DTS:X, but nothing below it. Also, do you even have speakers connected to your TV and how many? Are they directly connected or do you have a separate sound system? Otherwise, if you play something like dts and your sound system sites not support it, on PC for example, I believe the sound is processed first and then sent to the speakers, but if the whole chain supports DTS, the raw data is first passed to the AMP or whatever and then it gets sent to the speakers.
I did mention that Samsung had stopped DTS since 2018 and most of the Samsung TVs that came out in 2018, up to this very year have NO SUPPORT WHAT-So-EVER for DTs, and I was told this by an assistant at Samsung who looked at ALL Televisions released by the company in 2018. So a big entry-level Qled Tv by the company: Q60C/Q60D has no DTS in the TV what-so-ever. There are some qled tvs out there that are just advertising their sound as just Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X and nothing else in their specification advertising as regarding their sound codecs for the TV. As I say, because the majority of DVD movie discs released as still, Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 ( as well as other DTS codecs, the situation from the latest and best tvs of not even mentioning classic sound formats in their specification advertising is astounding. But in my case at home, yes… I do use a soundbar with HDMI connection.
The TV manufacturers not even mentioning the classic sound formats in their latest innovative technology televisions as part of the product specification , makes choosing a new tv a more difficult for the home consumer,especially people who are very new to these newer technologies in the latest models of televisions out there.

@@TangomenAr music, especially classical, is best as stereo. Surround doesn't work for even Mahler's symphonies. The classical 2-channel stereo has the best depth and fidelity. Surround is good for films.
One correction Amazon prime does not offer Dolby Atmos and it’s true form it offers Doe B plus but most of their movies are being played in 5.1 surround which sounds terrible if you have a 7.1 or 7.1.4 set up so I try to stay away from Amazon prime Oh, one more thing I think it’s Dolby digital or Dolby plus one of them if it says Dolby Atmos, you noticed that all of your speakers are not active so it’s giving you that false sense that you have Doe B Atmos, Amazon prime is cheaping out on their stuff

@@TangomenAr music, especially classical, is best as stereo. Surround doesn't work for even Mahler's symphonies. The classical 2-channel stereo has the best depth and fidelity. Surround is good for films.
One correction Amazon prime does not offer Dolby Atmos and it’s true form it offers Doe B plus but most of their movies are being played in 5.1 surround which sounds terrible if you have a 7.1 or 7.1.4 set up so I try to stay away from Amazon prime
Oh, one more thing I think it’s Dolby digital or Dolby plus one of them if it says Dolby Atmos, you noticed that all of your speakers are not active so it’s giving you that false sense that you have Doe B Atmos, Amazon prime is cheaping out on their stuff
Thanks for the info... and watching!
THX IS NOT A SURROUND SOUND FORMAT! IT'S A SOUND STANDARD...🤪🤪
