Z-680 Effects

[silvest]

Hi,

Does anyone know what the effects of the Z-680 do ?? (i.e. Direct, Stereo, Stereo x 2, DD Prologic II music, and DDPL II Movie) ??

i'm using analog with a SB Audigy LS sound card..

I find that the Stereo x2 effect produces the strongest bass of all, and the rest are the same... ??

Direct - It doesn't do anything. It reproduces the signal as is from the sound card. The speakers themselves don't do any decoding.

Stereo - Self explanitory

Stereo x2 - Mirros whats coming through the front speakers tot he back speakers. Its a "fake" surround sound for 2 channel audio.

DD Prologic II Music - It tries to guess where sound would be coming from in a 2 channel audio and reproduces it 5.1 surround. Although its not true 5.1 surround.

DD Prologic Movie - Same thing as Music but more tuned for movies

hmm... i find that stereo x 2 effect produces stronger bass compared to the rest of them... and clearer sounds too... ??

Is it normaL ???

IDK, as I have V1.0.3 of the Z680s so my stereo x2 doesn't work.

I don't use DD/DTS as its crap. I do straight Direct using Anolog connections from my PC. My Xbox is connected via Fiber Optic. ANd my cable box is connected via digital coaxal.
