In this environment, is it worth having a 5.1 type surround sound audio decoder? Do most of the movie files on BitTorrent come encoded as multi-channel surround sound these days? And to output 5.1 digital surround from a computer what does one need? A special sound card? Some kind of surround sound decoder separate attached to the computer via its optical out? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.121195 Mon, 04 May 2009 03:29:35 -0800 51 audio bittorrent computer decoder digital dolby download dts surround skylar http://ask.metafilter.com/93453/Which%2DAkira%2Dshould%2DI%2Dbuy Which version of <em>Akira</em> should I buy on DVD? I've been looking to get <em>Akira</em> on DVD for quite some time, but there are a few different versions floating around that I've seen, so I'm wondering if someone who knows more about anime than I do can help me decide.<br> <br> There's the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006LPEY/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">DTS version</a>, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005MAM2/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">special edition</a>, and the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00012QLQ4/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">Geneon Signature Series edtion</a>, which I've also seen a deluxe edition of.<br> <br> Does anyone know which one I should grab?

I have a receiver hooked up to four normal speakers. I'd like to use the speakers in my TV as the center speaker.<br> <br> My TV has audio inputs for each set of video inputs. These are normal RCA red-white connectors.<br> <br> Is there some way to connect powered speaker wires to these without breaking the TV? My first thought was to open the TV and disconnect the speakers from the internal wiring and substitute my own. I'd prefer not to do this since the TV is new and still under warranty.<br> <br> The other problem would be that the TV has two internal speakers, left and right, which I want to treat as one.<br> <br> Any thoughts? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.88108 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:02:13 -0800 dolby dts electrical electronics hometheater hometheatre movie movies speaker speakers surround television tv wiring odinsdream
