General Comments

The Videologic Digitheater DTS cost me £370 from dvdworld,
A truly outstanding purchase which brings a whole new outlook to movies.
So easy to setup, nice looks but overall it's the performance that stands out.
There are 11 lights on the volume display which go out after a few seconds of adjusting the volume and i set it to volume 8 to test it with these discs,
castaway: aircraft explosion scene DTS
saving private ryan: omaha beach DTS
daylight: tunnel explosion DTS
die hard: chair bomb DTS
jurassic park: T.rex entry DTS
matrix: lobby scene DD5.1
These are all super loud scenes which should surely find out a £370 all in one so called budget system. Well it handled them all with such ease and clarity, i couldn't listen to a whole movie at this volume as i don't want to go deaf but the system was still so clear, no rattles or distortion from the speakers. The only bit of distortion you will get is if you have a scene with super low bass frequency at high volume and with your ear attatched to the sub and even then it's minimal. But you dont listen to movies with your ear on the sub do you, and from your chair you will hear no distortion whatsoever no matter what (I am being very harsh even mentioning this unless you have your movies on with your ear on the sub and don't watch the picture). Very clear, superb seperation from all speakers and a knock out performance.
You can tell a cheapish system as, when it's too loud, all becomes 1 big noise but with digitheatre it was all under control.
I have compared many dvd's on DD5.1 against DTS and i personally prefer DTS, but here you get them both and pro logic.
Tons of customers reviews are all over the web with great response and many awards were given to this system so i really do recommend purchasing one. I reckon you would have to pay a minimum of at least £1000 for separates to make any sort of impact on its performance.
If you can, take 1 of the dvd's above to a dealer and ask for a demo, oh and take your cash as well cause you WILL want to part with it.
Of course high end hi-fi seperates will beat it but unless you're an audiophile who demands the best then don't bother wasting a £1000 or more when you can get this superb system for £370.
