I don't think anyone's
really having a go, Skeeter. Well, except akarit (
>>>>>>> ) - though I'm not sure if that's
at me or
with me!
Some of us (er, that'll be me
) need a laugh from time to time - so, no worries. Some wise person apparently said that we all have to start somewhere, too...
Now then... Quiet, class!
Skeet, although it is now evident that you won't be getting DPLII goodness from video, I'm still wary of the 'outputs' that you mention. In my experience, I believe that such a thing is rare (though I could be wrong on that one... yay, me!). In fact, I have only seen it
once - on the ageing Toshiba set (that's
real-world ageing, not the AV Forums members' variety!) that I currently use, in fact. A triumvirate of sockets such as these
tends to be for
input (to use with a camcorder or games console, for example). My television has a set of these inputs at the front of the set and the same kind of connections - this time, for output - at the rear of the set. Again, I just thought we'd better check on this before the roof is blown off!
Finally, in that earlier post, I forgot to mention a couple of possible routes to hearing the oft-mentioned Pro-Logic II. The first route is via DVD and with this, there are two possibilities. The simplest is to use a DVD that doesn't contain a 5.1 soundtrack. The Shawshank Redemption springs to mind as a film that contains only a Dolby Surround soundtrack. The second option with DVD is to manually select a stereo soundtrack, if available.
The second route that I referred to is...
CD!
Woo! Wooooooo!
Ahem!
Woo!
Sorry, I
am taking the pills that the doctor gave me.
Woo!
Hmm.
Er...
Yep, just stick a CD in the Pioneer and that Pro-Logic II lighty thingy on the wotsit should, er, light right up. Or left.
And down.
And if it doesn't?
Well, I've only been able to find a blurry picture of the 313's remote; but, assuming the most-used functions are labelled in the same way, pressing 'Surround' will cycle through your options - eventually guiding you to
The Real Thing® or Pro-Logic II
. You've probably done that
at least a few times, by now; but... well, it's there for 'completion'!
Akarit1? Video? Audio? Why, video is the one that... and... er... er...
