SDTV is regular standard definition (SD) television. It’s what everyone has been watching and buying for years. And yes, the PS3 should work with any TV.

Dolby Pro Logic basically works like this:

It starts off with two signals: left and right (stereo), which have been matrix-encoded to contain 4 channels of sound.

It processes those two signals, and whatever it finds in common between the two, it uses for the center channel. It removes that commonality from the two and uses the resulting signals for the left and right. So if you have a mono soundtrack, you’ll only get sound from the center channel.

At the same time, the difference between the two channels is used for rear surround, with a limited frequency range. The same signal is used for both the left surround and the right surround.

Pro Logic II uses similar techniques, but works much better. You can even use it on a non-encoded stereo signal to get some interesting results. Pro Logic II even has a game mode. Supposedly Pro Logic II is quite good.

But nothing is as good as actually encoded discrete signals, which is why DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1 are superior.

Hopefully you have a Dolby Digital Receiver. If you do you need an Optical cable or a Digital RCA jack (the package will tell you what it is for). This is the 5.1 sound that people talk about. Each speaker is sent its own different sounds.

The other type of surround is Pro-Logic or some other stereo signal split into a 5 speaker sound stage. The front speaker signals are split with some cross overs to isolate the voices to act as a center channel. The rear speakers are surround speakers because the usually have wind or some other atmospheric sound coming out of them. This is a very crappy type of surround sound (If this is what you are using go out right now and upgrade. A Dolby Digital Receiver is very cheap today and is worth the money ten times over.

Dolby Digital 5.1 will do more for gaming than an HDTV.

I have surround sound, but I do not know how to hook it up. However, I plan on getting a 32′’ Bravia V32XBR1 for my bedroom and a 40′’ or up HDTV hooked up to the surround sound(panasonic surround sound). However don’t worry, I will get the full experience when the time comes. Patience people, PATIENCE.

Surround sound is so necessary, I didn’t understand until I went and played doom on original xbox at a friends house, as I was walking through a room, all of a sudden I heard something breathing behind me and I thought it was his dog, I turned around in real life, saw nothing, turned around in the game and an imp or whatever had materialized right behind me and scared the crap out of me.

Ooh, you’re missing a lot of fun if you don’t have surround sound.

Well I am not a HDBuff with the surround sound and all that shit. However, my room is not that huge so 32′’ is fine for me. However I do plan on getting a large screen sometime in the future.
