It has two modes: Wide, designed to make the front left/right speakers sound wider than they are and Reference, which doesn’t attempt width enhancement.
The music demos gave me a chance to reacquaint myself with Dolby Virtual Speaker, which I’ve rarely used in the past. The system was slick enough to let me distinguish between the pristinely recorded orchestral soundtrack and the inserted songs, which sounded like most pop music does these days: digitally processed to death. The Back-up Plan is a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez struggling with pregnancy-related relationship issues. The digital amps could energize my speakers to play loudly, but at higher volumes, the system’s resolution clearly waned along with my comfort level. In the climactic (and most bombastic) scenes, I had to throttle back from the volume control’s 60-percent setting to less than half.

The first half of the movie needed only slight variations of the BD receiver’s volume range. Instead, I manually adjusted the volume to reconcile dialogue with effects. I refrained from using the Dynamic Range Control. Its action-packed soundtrack gave the BDS 5 its toughest workout. But it did avoid the worst excesses of cheap, dirty-sounding digital amps. Vocal timbre was slightly opaque, not as rich or detailed as my experience tells me it would be through a higher-end A/V receiver. Dialogue was clear, neither edgy nor dumbed down. In this story of a heart-transplant patient whose new ticker is bent on vengeance, the thumping heart is virtually a leading character in itself. The first of three I auditioned, all with DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks, was Tell Tale. I was happy to find that loading times for all Blu-ray Discs were gratifyingly fast compared with what I’m used to from most players.
Since the BDS 5 doesn’t have auto setup, I set the speaker distances manually. There’s a generic Dynamic Range Control with off, on, and auto settings the latter applies compression based on information in the Dolby Digital bitstream only.Īssociated equipment for this review included five Paradigm Reference Studio v.4 speakers and a Paradigm Seismic 110 sub.

With two-channel sources, Dolby Pro Logic’s Music and Movie modes also become available. With surround sources, you can choose DVS, Stereo, or Original, which plays the source material without enhancement.
Listening modes include the basic necessities plus Dolby Virtual Speaker, which produces faux-surround effects from two speakers with two-channel or multichannel sources.
