[BC] DTV Audio Levels

[Clayborn, Kevin]

I've been following this thread with some interest and would like to
weigh in as well.

While I agree with Mr. Foti's first paragraph, I respectfully and
completely disagree on the second. Orban's 8585 5.1 processor does a
fantastic job of helping stations with fix the ills of the system.

I won't get into a feature by feature debate of the various units here
except to ask the kind readers of this forum to visit the respective
websites for further info.

Kirk Harnack has already listed the website for the L.A. box, so the
website for the Orban unit is:

The problem you speak of, we knew would occur. Sadly, TV engineers
bought
the muth instituted by Dolby which was "the HDTV system doesn't need
processing. The Dolby Digital system handles everything for you." In a
word...WRONG!!! The meta data method the system employs is intriguing,
but
falls short of what consumers require.

The Linear Acoustic processor, mentioned in Tom's reply, is the sole
answer. It does fix all the ills of the system, and then some. The
developer, Tim Carroll, is a former Dolby guy, and he knows where the
bodies are buried in the system, and hence the evolution of the product.
