Difference between Dolby Digital 2.0 and 5.1?
Hey all,
I'm looking at getting a movie box set (Sopranos) available for cheap in 2.0. However, other versions that are more expensive are in 5.1 Is there a huge difference in sound quality here? Thanks John johnj7777@yahoo.com |

If you have a 5.1 system you want the 5.1 version. Tonester |

Decoder/amplifiers are getting less expensive all the time, and I'm sure the day will come sooner than you think that you'll buy one! Heinrich Galland |

A set offering only 2.0 is probably a bootleg. RichC Rich Clark |
