Questions on stereo surround
Answered
I have now created a home theater group with my powernode N330 and two Pulse Flex 2i speakers witch I bought now.
It's a nice feature to get a dolby surround group for movies and works well.
I also tried the feature stereo surround in the home theater group and I think it is a nice feature.
I have now some questions:
1) When I disable stereo surround in the home theater group the sound stops in the rear two Flex 2i, is the network traffic from the powernode to the two rear speakers reduced or maybe stopped?
2) Will the rear speakers go to standby mode after a certain time if I disable stereo surround and when playing only stereo content?
3) When I play dolby digital 2.0 content (witch is only stereo) will the stereo surround feature will work too or is this content handled like the dolby specification only on the front speakers?
Maybe someone can give me advice to my questions.
Best regards

Hi Keks
Think of your Home Theatre Group as one virtual Bluesound Player.
If Stereo Surround is disabled, only 2 channels of audio are being played, therefore there is no Audio to process for the rear channels, and thus they are silent (Question 1 answered). Since they are acting as a single virtual player, and multi-channel audio might be played they are not on stand-by (question 2 answered). When enabled, all 2-channel content is redispersed creating virtual rear-channel audio from remixing (question 3 answered).

Hello Tony,
thank you for your answers to my questions.
I hoped I got other answers from you. So I need to break the fixed home theater group to bring the flex loudspeakers to standby when I don't need them. It is bad that the fixed groups cannot be disabled without deleting, so everytime when I want to use dolby digital with rear speakers I have to create the home theater group again.1 -
