Impressive DD5.1 moments?
Andy Turner
My flatmate and I are auditioning DD5.1 decoders tomorrow. I'm already
sold on getting one, by my flatmate is sceptical on how good the
step-up from Pro-Logic will be. Which discs (out of the ones that we
have!) should I take, and which bits should I play to impress him? I
have a Pioneer 515 incidentally.
We've got:
Tomorrow Never Dies SE R1
Goldeneye R2
Matrix R1
Armageddon R2
Lost in Space R1
Blade R1
TSAMary R1
Mask R2
Contact SE R2
Total Recall R1
Ghostbusters SE R1
LA Confidential R2
Face Off R2
Terminator 2 R1
Exorcist R2
Kingpin R1
Liar Liar Se R1
Ferris Bueller R1
Mr Nice Guy R1
Basic Instinct R1
Lethal Weapon 4 R1
Con Air R2
From Dusk Till Dawn R2
Remember, I'm not looking for the best bits of the film per se, just
the bits that show off the 5.1 the best - which might not necessarily
be the bits with all the explosions!
Thanks!

Borrow "Heat" for the shoot-out after the bank heist.

The shootout at the end of LA Confidential has nice use of discrete, rear
channels.
If you can get a hold of The Fifth Element, then the "ZF1" scene (called
something like "Empty Box/Crate" in the R2 version) has an excellent demo of
front channel steering. Listen to the bit where Zorg fires the arrows into
the dummy. In DD 5.1 you should clearly hear them shooting from the left
speaker to the centre speaker. In pro logic, there is just a general sense
of movement somewhere between the two speakers. Also, the net going over
the viewer's head should sound clearer.
Cheers,
Liam

My very favourite is the beginning of 'Zorro' when he swooshs
his sword in a 'Z'. The sound to that is awsome. Second best
is the storm sequences in 'Twister'
Of the discs you have:.
>> Tomorrow Never Dies SE R1
The bit when the rocket is fired at the beginning is excellent.
>> Contact SE R2
The beginning again when you zoom out from Earth, all channels
are playing something different (Only bad point The Spice Girls is
one of them)
Cheers,
Lee

Thanks to everyone who answered. I'm going today so I'll be taking
Blade, Matrix, Armageddon, TND etc.. The problem with the Matrix is
once you start watching it... you just can't stop!! They'll have to
throw us out of there!!
