Hello group
If I record a 5.1 program while surround sound is off to accommodate non-surround devices watching live TV, does that recording have 5.1 sound? If I turn surround back on can I view that recording with 5.1 sound on my 5.1 enabled devices?
No.
When the surround sound option is off, no recordings will ever had the 5.1 audio track. You can never listen to them in 5.1 audio.
You must have the option enabled at time of recording.
Thanks for the info. Since I have devices in the house that can’t decode the 5.1 audio I’m going to just leave surround sound disabled for now.
