Today I had a play with Pearl Harbor DVD on these 2 settings.
1.Dolby Digital 5.1 via Optical lead in CD/DVD mode.
2. 6 Channel input. Coaxial IXOS / Phono leads, I guess?
My set up is
Kenwood 5030 amp
Toshiba SD 520E DVD/ DVD A.
Paradigm sub
JPW minims Fronts
Wharfdale Flat Panels as Rears.
Gale Centre 10.
I thought the DD Optical sounded Fuller and the sub lit up the LFE
light in this mode.
6 channel the SW mode lit up on the amp not LFE.
The sound seemed inferior.
On the CD/DVD setting on the amp no sound was heard with the optical lead disconnected, so what does the coaxial do?
One thought I had was, with both an Optical lead and a Coaxial lead attached to the DVD and Amp what lead would the CD/DVD and amp need/Use.
I've read on here before the people recommend Coaxial v Optical connections so I'm a bit at a loss of what direction to take/ understand how to get the best sound.
All the best.
