Thread Name: TECH: DVD player or Dolby system fault?
Subject: BS: Tech: DVD player or Dolby system fault?
All of a sudden my DVD / Surround Sound combo has stopped functioning correctly! All works OK on the stereo/sub-woofer if I select 2 channel but if I select Dolby 5.1 playback on any DVD I get the surround but no front and hence no voices! Testing it with a cleaner/setup CD I get stereo OK but no centre and no rear.
It is a Cyberhome DVD that I have had for a long time and a VideoLogic Dolby 5.1 surround system that I have had for about a year. All the speakers and connections seem OK. The settings look good. It happens on all DVDs.
I will probably have to take the DVD to my sons and test it on his surround system then I should know at least if it is the DVD or Sound system that is at fault.
In the interim (couple of days before I can try it) I know there are some very smart people out there who can suggest other things to try:-)
