First off - I don't know that much about them I just bought a panasonic scht520 DVD home theater and after setting it up and reading manual realised that it doesn't decode pro-logic encoded sound when in TV mode either watching a movie on digital TV or a Video tape. The previous one that i owned did and i find this a bit annoying. I spoke to a guy where i got it from and he said that the quality of sound in pro logic was poor and worse than stereo so they do not have this feature anymore in TV mode. Is what this man said correct ??
Couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, most receivers now come with processing that allows you to distribute a two-channel signal to all speakers regardless of whether it is encoded with any matrix surround.
I came across your more recent post first (the dangers of multiple-posting) But, they can't decide: you can have decoding on THIS source but not on THAT, that's BS. So it won't decode a video tape? Garbage. 'Couldn't be further from the truth' I agree. Honestly it all sounds like improbable nonsense and I am surprised Panasonic would attach its name to something like this. I was discussing the difficulty of the matrixed signal making its way to you, intact - but even if it did you cannot use it? Take it back, my friend, return it without delay, with haste, before too late...
