Dear fans,
Last week I had the opportunity to check quality of B5 S1 DVD at a friend of mine. This friend has a home theater installed in his “multi-media” room, and according to his experience, and what I could observe, B5 S1 DVD has a lousy sound quality.
The image as we have discussed many times, and JMS himself, informed that we cannot demand too much regarding image quality, since it was the first season. Which it is reasonable.
However, concerning sound quality, I felt really disappointed. Why? According to the B5 S1 DVD box set, it says in the technical feature: ENGLISH Dolby Surround 5.1. Well, we could observe that, in first place, the amplifier receiver, which automaticly switches to Surround on when the DVD has this feature, in the B5 DVD just kept off this important feature. Also I could only hear three speakers working (Left, Right and Front). The two speakers in the back were completely in silence.
So after this experience I have the following question for anyone who can answer:
1st- Did you have same experience? Or worked a true Surround 5.1 ?
2nd – Also the sound level was too low, compared to others DVD.
3rd - Is WHV lying to us or is my friend’s home theater system connected wrong?
4th- In case it is not a real Surround 5.1, would you say this is the First Season edition problem or it will happen for the entire saga?
For your knowledge:
Hometheater system:
TV: Sony (Model Wega)
DVD: Pioneer
Amplifier Receiver: Harman Kardon (model AVR-7000)
Take care,
Cadu
