DTS master 7.1 vs Dolby surround

[bobbydrugar]

bsislander quick question about the comment about not needing the run from player to receiver i don't understand. if the source device with the sound is the player and the destination for amplification is the receiver and the receiver doesn't have hdmi then to get lossless the OP does need the cables exclusively from the player to the receiver. as per the cables monoprice and bluejeans both sell 5.1 and 7.1 ch analog cable sets but to save money if you already have male to male rca stereo sets or 3 cable red white yellow video cables from old dvd players and such laying around jus use those. use one set of red white for the fronts and one set of red white for the surrounds and use either another set of red white for sub and center respectively or if you had used the rde white yellow cables you can use the left over yellows from both sets for the center and sub. as noted yes there may be some additional calibration needed with this type of connection because it will likely bypass the autocalibration ypao or audyse from the receiver so most blu-ray players with analog out have additional tools to correct sub levels at least.

Thanks
