I have been acquiring DVD-A discs for my TL at an alarming pace. I have never had a problem with compatibility until now....
I just bought an import that includes one disc that is advertised as DVD Audio, but it won't play in the TL. The DVD label reads: Audio Format: 5.1 STS/2.0 LPCM STEREO

Anyone know why it won't play? Works on my computer's drive but only 2 ch stereo.

 

Ok, I found the answer after a Google search. here is a review of the DVD from a UK reviewer..
Disc 2 is an Audio DVD and NOT a DVD Audio (no MLP) or SACD, this amount to a disappointment for me of this set. While it is nice to have a version of the original QUAD mix for the album it is only in lossy DTS and is not from a very good source. So full marks for effort in providing this disc but marks dropped for not getting a better source. That said the quad mix does open up the sound field quite a lot and manages to enhance the power of the original album on many of the tracks. Also of concern for a deluxe edition where you expect good sound quality the stereo track on the disc is lossy Dolby Digital rather than high bit rate LPCM as stated on the cover of the package?

 

Geezer, which disc was this?

 

Black Sabbath Paranoid Deluxe Edition 2009 (I'm a bit older than most of you guys).
BTW, it sounds great on my home system.

 

Damn, I love that album.

 

Anyone want Dark Side of the Moon on DVD-A shoot me a PM.

 

Great classic album. I'm not a Pink Floyd fan, but I'd love to hear it. It's a difficult disc to get a hold of.

 

I have all the Pink Floyd albums already (only The Wall as a DVD-A), but I bet it sounds great in surround sound. Unfortunately I need to save some money to have an A-Spec installed. Do you know of good place in SFV to have that done?
