RE: Arianet 2255 PDVD / Videologic ZXR 500 5.1 Speaker System
Hi Jimmy,
Ok obtained a Dolby 5.1 DVD " Blade "
Still no sound when set to Dolby 5.1 on DVD, but when set to Analogue we get sound from front speakers + Subwoffer but the actors voices are muted. have tried reversing connections to no avail, I have tried phone Aria Technical Help Line free 30 day helpline but no one is answering the phone due to the festive season.
Thanks again for all your help, when eventaually we get the problem solved will let you know.

Hi Jimmy,
According to rear & manual Arianet has
Audio out
LS to surround left channel in of amp
RS to surround right channel on of amp
I assume these are to left and right rear of amp ( Videolgic )
Please see other message about Videologic Audio input sockets.
There are also other connects on the DVD player for connection to Stereo amp & amp with Dolby Digital Decoder /DTS Built in.
As you say I need to obtain a DVD with 5.1 to check out whether the surround sound works OK
PS : My son used DVD to SVCD with TMPGEnc obtained from afterdawn.com/forum/articles.( Looks very complicated to me non- techie )
RE: Arianet 2255 PDVD / Videologic ZXR 500 5.1 Speaker System
THE PDVD has a built-in decoder for Dolby 5.1 ( AC3 decoder ), DTS and the audio output can be set as follows:
Analog: normal playback
Spdif/Paw: connect to ampwith dolbydigital,DTS,Mpeg1 or Mpeg2 decoder built-in
Spdif/Pcm: connect with 2 channel digital stereo amp
Speaker setup
Downmix - set to off for AC3
Centre,Rear,Subwoofer set to on for AC3,
Centre Delay, Rear Delay for ideal room set up
Test Tone - tests each speaker automatically
Dolby Digital Set-up - dual mon Dynamic RNG default is stereo
Thanks

Hi Jimmy,
The Videologic manual is geared for connecting to PC sound card but we have connected as follows for amplifier with 5.1 channel input.
Audio Input to DVD Player
Front Right Front Right Channel
Front Left Front Left Channel
Sub (S) Subwoofer Channel
Centre (C) Central Channel
Rear (R) Surround Right Channel
Rear (L) Surround Left Channel
PS Adianet PDVD is a chinese make as the translation and instructions are very unique i.e the set-up menu on screen doesn`t quite reflect the manual but you can get by.
Thanks again
Rob
RE: Arianet 2255 PDVD / Videologic ZXR 500 5.1 Speaker System
Total Output power 65 W RMS
Bought from aria.co.uk ( Manchester ) for £58.75 look under products/ speakers second page at the bottom seem to have a good selection.
Additional info: videologic.com or pure-digital.com.
The PDVD player was also bought from Aria for £88.13 to early to access, intial comment as others on WEB site very bright blue light and flimsy remote control, nice looking very slim unit and has so far played everything including VCD, MP3 on CD-R, down loaded film via net copied using Nero I think to convert AVI to MPEG 2 to CD-R ( my son has just done it )
Thanks again for your help,
Rob

This site is Brill, at least I get constructive respone better than the manufactures helpdesk. Checked Peter Kay @ the Tower on this site and Yes you are right only stereo. will follow-up advice about getting a 5.1 track. A little disappointed about not getting sound out of other speakers and I thought I had done my homework visiting manufactures web sites and reading reviews. But after reading info on this site the subject is more complex than I thought.
The Videologic ZXR-500 5.1 Channel Speaker System is very loud, integrated 6 channel amp which can be connected to a multichannel PC sound card or DVD player .
Subwoofer power output 25 W RMS
Satellite 8 W RMS each

Thanks for the reply,
Have re-checked set-up on DVD to no avail, nothing out of speakers on Dolby digital or 2 channel amplifer settings. Only sound is when DVD set to Analog: normal play back and then we get sound out of front speakers and subwoofer playing a DVD or CD.

Help !!!!
Bought above for my son for Xmas, having difficulty connecting the two to-geter. We have used the supplied dual phono leads and used the set - up menu audio output to supply Dolby 5.1 and when we test speakers using the speaker tone facility each speaker works accodingly.
Put when we play our limited DVD`s ( Peter Kay at the Blackpool Tower ) VCD`s MP3`s on CDR`s we only get sound out of the TV`s speakers and the front Videlogic Speakers after a lot of frustration and re-connecting and rechecking I now assume that these disc`s are not either Dolby 5.1 / DTS or Prologic compatable.
I hope this makes sence to someone, will gladly review these kits when we understand them better.
Many thanks in advance,
Rob
