Author Topic: Home theatre sound Tom Wienholt Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: Towson, MD, USA Registered: Dec 2002 posted 04-13-2003 03:29 AM                     I was curious if there would be any way to connect a DVD player to a CP50 or any other cinema processor for a home theatre. Is this possible and would it work properly? Would the matrix card propery decode the L,C,R,and surround channels? Just curious.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-13-2003 05:37 AM                     You'd be better off just buying a receiver or pre-amp/processor and an amplifier(s). I recall hearing that the Dolby CP650 can decode DVD Dolby Digital tracks.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-13-2003 11:09 AM                    I would say you would probably have to connect it like you would any other video component to the unit. THere are other threads on the site that talk about this. The problem that may occure if connecting it straight to the preamp card of the processor may be in the circutry of the card and the use of the HF gains for optical inputs from the solar cell. It may distort the incoming line signals of the DVD player.  |  IP: Logged
