Author Topic: 5.1 from DVD to CP65 Gunnar Asgeirsson Film Handler Posts: 64 From: Iceland Registered: Jul 2006 posted 12-10-2010 08:50 AM                        Have somone here play 5.1 sound from DVD/BluRay to Dolby CP65 processor? How is that done? I have done it a lot in CP500 but never in CP65. I realize thad i need DVD/BluRay player that have discreet 6 channel analog out. But the CP65 seems not have any External 6 channel input. How is this possible?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

If you have a DA20, you will need to either install a switch or manually swap out the cables. The slickest way to do this is with a DMA8+ (which will decode the digital output from the DVD player), but you don't want to see the price.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-10-2010 10:28 AM                     You can connect your 5.1 outputs to the DA20 "Audio in" (if I remember corectly). The DA will bypass audio in to audio out when it's powered off. If you don't have a DA, use the 6ch input on the back of the CP65.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The DMA8 Plus is NOT that expensive for what it is. It is the cheapest Dolby-E decoder I know AND it does not need a Video reference signal to decode Dolby-E. As a straight Dolby AC3 decoder, yes, it is a bit pricey. USL has a lower cost alternative as does Extron and most consumer "A/V" receivers/preamps. -Steve  |  IP: Logged
