Revenge Of The Sith No DD-EX???

Fluxus · 11-02-2005, 12:22 PM

Just watched Episode 3 last night and the DD soundtrack was 5.1 and not 6.1 (EX) as stated on the box. Did anyone else encounter this? I cannot test the disc on another player/receiver as I'm the only person I know that has equipment capable of decoding EX soundtracks.

Does this mean the track is incorrect?

My equipment is: Sony Disc Changer and a Yamaha RX-750 receiver.

The only other time I encountered this problem was on the Pixar movies which all stated they had EX tracks.

I think, like some other EX titles, that the flag is just not there.

I get the "Surround Back Decoding" lamp on my receiver during the THX intro but not during the movie.

You guys need THX certified receivers to get the full DD-EX processing.

(Just kidding... it's most likely a flagging issue as piratehunter mentioned)

Peace...

That's what I figured...thanks for the responses. I manually put my receiver into EX mode next time I watch it.
