poor SQ on usb drive

[jayantadak]

Hi,

I had purchased a Pioneer DV 220 dvd player a fortnight ago. It has an USB port. Whenever I play a .avi file / Divx file through the USB port, the sound quality is very poor. The sound volume increases when I increase the volume i.e. to -10 (BTW I am using a Denon amp. AVR 1604) but the quality is hopeless and without any clarity. So I disconnect my amplifier and listen the sound from the TV set only. Can I know the reason behind it? Though the downloaded movie is in AC 3 / 5.1 format still the panel display of the amp shows PL II Cinema or NEO.6 but never 'Dolby Digital' which i expect. Of course DTS is out of question. This happened in all the downloaded movies.

Let me know if there is any other method whereby I can retain the splendor of 5.1 sound through the USB, or is it that we cannot expect good quality sound from the USB.

With regards

JAYANT

It may be problem with the recording. Are you using RCA cable or Digital coaxial cable ?

Hi,

I am using the co-axial cables.

Well! If the recording is what is typically termed 'camera print", I don't think you can expect much ...

If you are downloading from paid sites, you are likely to hit official copies that have the original soundtrack
