Surround sound

Dolby logo DTS logo

To increase the experience when watching a movie a so called surround sound is being used. This enables the sound to come from all directions in the room.
The most common technology for surround sound on DVD is Dolby Digital. Digital Theatre System (DTS) is a competing technique which is less established and used but by some considered to give a better sound quality.
A 5.1-system uses five regular loudspeakers (left front and back, centre, right front and back) and a subwoofer (Hence the ".1").
There are further developments for each system, with even more loudspeakers. Examples of these are Dolby Digital EX 6.1 and DTS ES 6.1, these are however not yet common on DVDs.

Typical speaker configurations:

5.1 system 6.1 system

Which surround systems shall your DVD-player support? (Multiple choice possible)

Power, impedance and speakers' sensitivity

The receiver’s output power (in Watt) effects with which volume the sound can be played on a certain speaker. However, it takes quite a big increase in power to be able to hear any difference. Something that has greater influence on the sound level is the speaker’s sensitivity (in dB). If you want to be able to play loud, buy speakers with high sensitivity.
The power here is indicated per channel, i.e. per speaker.

If you have a normally big living room (~25 m²) and normally sensitive speakers (87 dB) a receiver with 80 W per channel is enough, based on Home THX Program’s recommendation. In other cases, see list below:

Usually the power is given at an impedance of 8 ohm. If the speakers have lower impedance the receiver has to be able to provide enough electrical power to the speakers without overheating. If you have speakers with low impedance you need to look for receivers where the power is indicated at the same impedance.

Impedance
At which impedance do you want the receiver power to be specified?
Haven’t bought the speakers yet/Don’t know 4 Ω (ohm) 6 Ω (ohm) 8 Ω (ohm)
Power
How much power do you want the receiver to have?
Not important/Don't know At least 60 W/channel At least 80 W/channel At least 100 W/channel At least 120 W/channel At least 150 W/channel

Audio inputs

Usually the standard inputs on the receiver are enough for a home cinema system.

There are different kinds of inputs. Digital transfer gives you a better sound quality than analogue transfer and we recommend you to use it if it is available. It is also the digital connections that transfer the surround sound from the DVD-player to the receiver (with few exceptions).

(Difference between optical and coaxial technology)

Common inputs:

[Digital Coaxial] [Digital Optisk] [RCA]

Digital coaxial  

Digital optical  

Analogue RCA


If your audio source only has one scart connection (for example a TV) you will need an adapter to convert to RCA to be able to deliver the sound from the TV to your speakers.

Check which connections are needed for the appliances you want to connect to the receiver.
