Can I just clear something up, to make sure I have understood Dolby Digital 5.1 properly.
This is how I understand it.
The .1 track is a dedicated discrete low frequancy track recorded on the disc, so the same noise goes down to the subwoofer from this track nomatter what system/setup you have and nomatter what the crossover point is set on the amp as, it is a feature of the disk. It has nothing to do with the crossover point.
The crossover point is for the stuff that is supposed to go to the other 5 channels but is in reality too low for them speakers.
So any stuff that is recorded on the 5 regular discrete tracks that happens to be below the crossover will be redirected down the subwoofer cable along with the .1 channel.
Is this right?
Also, with music from a cd, I presume its a simple case of everything above the crossover to the fronts and anyting below the crossover to the sub.
again,
is this right?
Cheers,
Chris
