first u hv to understand the source and the console itself,
most of the source, refers to mp3, video in what ever format,
usually are just stereo, only DVD video gives u full surround sound...

the decoder itself has 3 input, Direct, Coax n Optical.
all of that has effects like Stereo, Stereo X2, DD PLII Movie & DD PLII Music,
[* 6Ch for Direct input only]

for normal stereo source, effect like Stereo & Stereo X2 will plays in stereo,
if switch to DD PLII Movie or DD PLII Music then stereo source will plays in full surround for all 3 types of input
[for me it doesn't sounds good, i like being playing in stereo x2]
stereo source will also only plays in stereo in 6Ch Direct input
[it can be played in surround by setting in CMSS 3D, but i also doesn't like how it sounds]

coming to DVD video,
u can either choose to decode by ur sound card or the Z5500 decoder,
both will give u full surround.

if u decode by sound card,
then u hv to switch to 6Ch Direct to get REAL FULL SURROUND
bc the soundcard has seperate each channel by different cable
[ur Green, Orange & Black.].

if u decode by the Z5500 decoder
which ONLY can be done using COAX or OPTICAL],
the control pod display will shows either Dobly Digital or DTS logo when u choose the sound source...
[i prefer using Coax than 6Ch Direct]

understand so far???
anything that i missed???

to get full surround...



*p.s. if u hv this setup like me, i think you'll like the Stereo X2...

get a sound card, or connect via on board SPDIF [if got]

by the way, u better put the sub on the floor, ur desk is not going to support the sub in that weight..

try to get this, then get urself either a COAX or OPTICAL cable and connect it to ur Z5500..
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/718387

place ur sub on the floor and try 1st, u'll know the difference..

u can take my advise althought im not using Z5500 anymore..

or maybe just get a sound card which has a digital connection,let ur Z5500 do the decoding..

he's using on-board output,it doesnt sound good..

OH,i know what'svur prob u said cant detact ur CENTRE speaker..
u're playing MP3 right?the source is only 2Channel,sovur centre speaker wont hv any sound..
unless u using the Movie or music mode [in ur Z5500]

bro, try to get a sound card n ur problem will be solved...
and seems like u don't really understand what we've talking..

u can always adjust the setting in ur player..

but i still prefer digital connection, let the Z5500 decode the DTS or DD soucre, more powerful than using analog in my xp...

u know what's digital COAX or OPTICAL cable??
try to get a sound card with either 1 of this connection, connect to ur Z5500 [that's the decoder]
then no need the Green/Black/orange cable anymore...

then u can enjoy the DTS/DD of a DVD.. [in true 5.1 ofcourse]
suggested using Stereo X2 for music..

last time im using Audiotrak Prodigy sound card, connect via both Analog n Digital, prefer digital, sound more impact
