OK- I played 3 classic rock tapes into the DVD recorder, and recorded
them at the "best" speed (i.e. fastest speed)- then played them back-
they sound freakin' awesome, even through the tiny TV speakers !
so while I was playing them back via the built in DVD HDD, I hit
"info", then scrolled over to this speaker icon
it said DOLBY DIGITAL 2.0
now, what is the resolution/bit rate of DD 2.0 ??
