Creative Labs (51MF8000AA008) Creative Decoder DDTS-100
1 Why Pay Extra?
this decoder is a class apart...i have been using it for the last one year,this totally rocks,I got myself a home theater system setup for just under $650 including the dvd player and the creative gigaworks 750 speakers...this beats the crap out of most amplifiers available in the market.
2 This is THE Solution.
This little box supports every existing sound configuration from 5.1 to 7.1.
It houses Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES (matrix and discreet), Dolby Pro Logic II (movie/music), and DTS NEO:6 (movie/music).
Package includes:
the Decoder itself, a Wireless Remote with batteries, 1 switchbox which allows you to connect both your PC and your DVD player, 1 optical cable, 1 coaxial cable, one 5.1/6.1 to 7.1 minijack cable, 1 RCA to mono minijack, user's manual, multi-langual warranty booklet, and of course power cord.
*1 year limited hardware warranty by manufacturer*
Connectivity:
IN ... 3 RCA stereo, 3 Digital Optical, 1 Digital Coaxial.
OUT ... 2 Headphone minijacks, and 1 Green-Orange-Black (5.1/6.1) minijack, mostly for computer powered speakers.
As I understand, you can get 7.1 sound only from Creative's 7.1 speakers setup.
You can connect up to 8 audio devices, 4 digital and 4 analog.
Remote:
Mimics everything the decoder does directly.
Options:
Adjust volumes separately for each channel: all/front, center, rear, subwoofer and rear-center for 7.1 setups, either directly or remotely.
Switchbox:
You have both a DVD player and a PC to connect ? Use the switchbox and you're done.
Ease of use:
Connect anything you want and it will work.
1- select the source (i.e. DVD via coaxial, PS2 or Xbox via optical, Gamecube via stereo, etc.)
2- select decoder (i.e. Dolby 5.1, DTS NEO:6, Pro Logic II, etc.)
3- if applies, choose effect (movie or music)
4- Sit back
5- Enjoy !
Bottom line, it rules.
