This is typically caused because the home theatre receiver is not in Dolby Pro-Logic or Dolby Digital Surround mode. Different brands of home theatre receivers have different methods to put the system in this mode. It is usually controlled from the remote and often called "listen mode" or "mode". Also occasionally you’ll encounter a movie with little or no surround information on the soundtrack. The older the movie the more likely this to be the case.

That's the steering system of the Dolby Pro Logic decoder in your receiver extracting the rear channel information. Because the process is very phase dependant, the swishing sound (phase shift) can be evident during action scenes with a lot of panning. The latest Pro Logic II is less susceptible to this effect.

This happens when you have selected everything correctly but the proper input on the TV. Different brands are controlled differently but almost all have separate "video inputs" that the various video sources (DVD, VCR, Satellite) are plugged in to. With the TV remote, select the various video inputs on the TV until you get a picture.

When you can only hear sound from the front speakers, it usually means the sound card does not support surround sound, and/or the sound card is not configured correctly, the speakers are connected incorrectly or the speakers could be defective. First, make sure your sound card supports surround sound 4.1. A surround sound card should have a front and rear speaker jack.

No. You must hook the Xbox optical output to some device capable of decoding the AC-3 digital audio. There are NO EXCEPTIONS. You need either an AC-3 capable receiver or an AC-3 capable PC sound card with optical input.

No, the HDMI outputs on the Movie Player and the Movie Player 2 carry video and PCM stereo audio only. When using HDMI for video, you can use digital coaxial, digital optical, or analog stereo outputs for audio. No. The DVD CCA License does not permit the use of RGBHV video output during DVD playback. The Kaleidescape Movie Player 2 supports both HDMI and component video (YPbPr) for high-quality video output.

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS are all supported and processed. Remember all audio is processed by the Cell and developers can use whatever audio codecs they want…so this is only the beginning.

of a few years ago, most consumer off-the-shelf systems feature either 5 identical speakers or 4 identical speakers with a center channel modified for better placement on top of the television. For a home theater system designed primarily for watching movies, the center channel may be of dubious quality and design though. In many older (circa 2000 or so) consumer music-only surround system, the front speakers may be matched direct radiators and the rear speakers may be dipoles (see 1.10).

The cinema in Maceio has current films from Brazil and abroad. Tickets range from US$5-7. Films from outside of Brazil will be subtitled, but Brazilian films are in Portuguese.

Yes. If you require a rear elevation, please click on the "Order A Rear Elevation" link located on the plan's details page. Some of our designers will not sell rear elevations.

Yes. Our sound effects can be incorporated into a live theatre production, either through the creation of a cued tape or CD created specially for the production, or through use of a direct cue from the original library CD. These uses meet Sound Ideas' definition of synchronization and therefore fall within the rights granted under our End User License Agreement.

Your film will be shown in Standard Definition in stereo or mono with an aspect ratio of 4:3. So you may shoot in HD, in widescreen, or in surround sound, but the film will not be projected that way. We require you to submit a Standard Definition, letterboxed, stereo or mono version of your film—anything else can lead to problems during our mastering process.

This is a slightly touchy subject. My original intent in building this site was to celebrate the Dynaco company formed by David Hafler, and crewed by talented folks such as Ed Laurent, Wade Burns, Joe Sparacio, Jim Elliott, Sid Lidz, Bob Tucker, Bill Phillips, Harry Klaus, Erno Borbely, John Ferranti, Doug Hercus, Richard Pley, etc. etc. I wanted to provide detailed info on the equipment they designed, supported, and serviced, right through the end of the company in 1980.

Ideally, surround speakers should be either wall-mounted or stand-mounted to either side of the couch or primary listening area, from one to six feet higher than seated listeners' ears, and slightly forward or rearwards of the listening area if you wish. Axiom's Quadpolar surrounds are especially versatile and can yield excellent performance with stand or wall-mounting to the rear as well as at side locations. (see our dedicated stands for the QS Surround speakers in the Store).
