hi mate. i recently bought a Pioneer AVH-5750 DVDplayer. after i play around for a few days and i found the functions is not good enough to perform what i need. it seem like they don't have DTS,5.1 dolby and auto time alignment to create SQ imaging. are that pioneer DEQ-P9 or DEQ-P8000 can help to play SQ?

any suggestions can help me to play SQ when i watch movies or play music.

cheers

do u want 5.1 suround sound or SQ? SQ is just stereo sound

what is the difference SQ and 5.1 Sound?

5.1 is as it said, u have 5 speaker and 1 sub (well maybe more sub) in your car, 5 speaker are, 1 centre, 2 front split, 2 rear, when u listened to 5.1 is like when u watching movie in cinema, the sound is moving around you.

while SQ setup, is only stereo, left and right, the purpose is create imaging, that all the band player and the singer, is in your dasboard

check out Kenwood's New AV head unit
XXV-05V RRP$3499

It's got 5.1 preouts, 24bit DAC, DTA, DTS, 4 band para eq, plus heaps more features.

Basically its the same as the KVT-945DVD but cheaper & a small face lift.
looks hot.

5.1 is only useful with recording in dolby digital 5.1. each channel is 'discrete', meaning it has separate, unique 'information' (ie: centre channel plays different music to front L or R, and rears are different again). you need a dolby digital 5.1 processor obviously.

if you're not interested in buying recordings in DVD format, then just stick with stereo. i have a fullblown 5.1 setup, and i do not enjoy playing normal stereo CDs via 5.1; it sounds poor compared with simple stereo. on the other hand, genuine 5.1 recordings sound awesome, but i have few of these and rarely play them.

for that HU, you will need a matching pioneer dolby digital processor if you want 5.1 sound. but they aren't available in australia as far as i know. the DEQ-P9 is NOT what you want; it's not a dolby digital processor. in the end, it will be expensive, and unless you're a hardcore 5.1 listener, probably not worth pursuing. but if you want to play music DVDs or watch DVD movies, then worth doing.

A new F1 would be nice. it has 6.1 and all the tuning tools you ever need. it is a dvd-a player as well

...the DEQ-7650 is an example of a pioneer dolby digital processor that can accept the digital audio signal from your HU and decode it into discrete 5.1 output. but as mentioned, not available in australia as far as i know.

and with 5.1 music i reakon tis weird, in a concert the band is in one spot, not spread around the place like 5.1

do a search and check out my thread. im in the exact same position.

i got the DVH P5650MP HU. there is an online store in america that u can the

DEQ 7650. thats wat u want. the link is in the thread.

tell me how u go when u get it.

i thought the AVH 5750 did have digital output?

hell do u have a centre channel?

i found that 5.1 recorded music was far and above that of stereo. but there aint

much out there music wise. u can get super audio CD most of them are recorded

onto 5.1 but there aint alot out there. lucky thing i love pink floyd. since he has

dark side of the moon recorded in 5.1. that and the fact i watch tv a bit in the car

made me go 5.1. its worth it if u appreciate it.
