it's taken me 2 hours to get through 5 minutes of the movie, because...
Saturday, December 26th, 2015 11:46 pmWe've got the Star Wars movies on both DVD and Blu-Ray discs. I'm watching episode II.
Our Blu-Ray player is connected to our HD TV via an HDMI cable.
Our DVD player / surround sound system has what looks like a proprietary output cable which connects to the surround sound speakers.
The TV's "audio out" jack is connected to the sound system's red/white AUX input jacks. This lets us play the TV sound thru the surround sound speakers. But apparently this only allows use of the front speakers, not the rear speakers?? Is that right?
The video quality is much better using the Blu-Ray player than the DVDs. But the audio sounds sub-par to me as there's no sound from the rear speakers.
The audio sounds better to me using the DVD player.
Oh me oh my, what to do, what to do? I don't want to settle for anything less than the best when watching Star Wars. So now I'm trying to play both discs at the same time, watching the video from the BluRay player and listening to the audio from the DVD player... but I have to get them exactly in sync... and anytime I pause, I have to press both pause buttons at exactly the same time... which would work better if I were pressing the right buttons...
Oh, yay. Apparently when I press both correct buttons at the same time, either "Play" or "Pause", neither works! They must be interfering with each other. I guess that will cut down on the number of times I decide to pause the movie. The double-play is working, however!
