Blue Thunder (1983)
70mm Dolby Stereo (format 42), well maybe not in 100% form as I would need a 70mm print playing same time with DVD to listen to as and when and how the mix sounds as well as frequency response signal noise ratio, but this DVD pressing is by far the closest it would ever be.
Format 42 was LCR mono discrete surround with discrete sub bass the MS and SW would only come active as and when in the film mix as and when to great effectiveness.
Format 43 that was with LCR SS split surrounds and SW was only ever released with handful of 70mm blow up release prints while format 42 holds the most title list. Format 40 five screen wide channels mono surround was retired around mid 1976? maybe bit year so later?
Dolby DSU makes hell of sounding mess with Blue Thunder as its mostly pulling sound from LCR and matrixing it with some new fancy of sort but it sounds repulsively dreadful!
dts neural X doesn't help even thou it has its own fancy that sounds like a sound signal gating hold back the LCR in same most parts but when the music comes active in a scene from Blue Thumder "follower the lead chaps" it sounds like ear rape! Its all phasy again a holy sounding up mix of crap!
I think the cat is out of the bag now with more listening with certain Dolby encoded films DSU is a fail of an upmixer its okay as discrete format but its ear raper for upmixing surround speakers. Reason WHY!
Blue Thunder has discrete LCR and MS - SW so the processor says oh this should be sounding here yeah when you listen to it with (LCR SW MUTED) you will hear what DSU / Neural-X really is CRAP for listening. I not sorry for being true-fully hash about it.
Get arrays of speakers for surrounds for sidewalls and rear back most have but most do not have the proper wiring for the playback of their certain favorite films.
These rubbish AVR's don't even give consumers a fancy way of playing the same mono to stereo surround signal equally to sides and rear back without any additional processing. I can do that here as I run Dolby professional processors as well as SDDS wired up to common as mud AVR.
