You only need one decoder. Most people pass the digital signal to the prepro. The one in the receiver/prepro typically has more features, flexibility with bass management, and perhaps higher quality.
A Simple Question: DVD & Pre-Pro
I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question...
For the processing of Dolby Digital and DTS, is it necessary for both the DVD Player and the Pre-Pro to have the associated decoders?
Or, is it that the DVD player need only pass the 5.1 PCM stream to the DD & DTS decoders within the Pre-Pro?
I want to buy my daughter a DVD player, but am unsure whether I need to buy a pre-pro, as well, to hear the DD & DTS sound (I do know the differences between DD & DTS).
If I'm not asking the correct question, and you can figure
what the right question is, I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.
