DPLII or Neo:6?

[PeruvianSkies]

Opinions wanted....which is better DPLII or Neo:6?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Typically the best way to go is to leave the receiver alone from all the advanced surround settings and just let it play in 'standard' mode. This way it doesn't try to remix the sound, whether that be 2.0, 5.1, or whatever. In that case it should default to ProLogic/DD 5.1 for Dolby mixes and DTS 5.1 for DTS mixes. Your remote should also have a stereo mode if you wish to concentrate on just 2-channel music or even stations that are only in stereo.

For watching television that is not in 5.1 i use DTS Neo-6 Cinema+THX.I find that it gives a much smoother sound than PL2 with more realistic surround steering.

These here girls. They're all legal. Like I said, they weren't too helpful, but they sure were fun!

When watching TV, it all comes down to what kind of surround format is being broadcast. This cases my Outlaw Pre/Pro to jump from one mode to the other, even when a commercial comes on, it could be in a different sound format. I've found that DTS Neo-6 sounds the best, except that my Outlaw won't stay on that because the source format keeps changing. It has got to be the most frustrating thing about watching TV.

And even with DTS Neo-6, I'm still no where near the sound of my DVDs. I just wish those %!$#@?#$% TV broadcasters would stick to one sound format and one video format. I've pretty much given up on TV alltogether and would rather watch a DVD any day. Heck, I even switch the damned boob tube off entirely just to find some peace & relaxation with just music.

this, like most of what peruvian skier posts is completely wrong and totally stupid.
PLII or DTSNEO both only work on two channel media, be it two channel encoded
with "dolby surround" or "dts".
Modern 5.1 channel formats (dts, DD5.1) play automatically and PLII and neo arent available when running these formats
these are meant to enhance stereo and analog surround formats
I hate to admit it but I sometimes like the PLII music format for stereo,
and I always go PLII movie for older movies, it almost sounds DVD like sometimes.
As much as I like DTS I really dont think their neo formats measure up, which is a disapointment.
Kind of what you would feel if you saw a picture of Rich on papers REAL girlfriends

Dude you couldn't be more wrong.
Dolby PLIIx can absolutely, definitely, 100% for certain be used with 5.1 discrete signals.

And then you wonder why people come down on you? Do you really believe that this is NOT rude?
