105 AMC18 NBC Sound

[RT-Cat]

I have an "interesting" problem with the sound on NBC East. Lyngsat shows the sound at 751. I check the sound setting on the receiver and it is set at 751. There is sound when the news person is talking but when they break for the ads the sound is missing on most of them. This is OK when it is one of the obnoxious medical commercials with their sickening side effects. I would rather not hear those, but some of the other ones are worth listening to. I can change the sound to receive the ads but then the news person is silent. Is this normal or do I have something messed up here with my sound?

From my experience the 4th audio channel is what works best.

Not as simple as receiving all APIDs at once. NBC uses Dolby E which must be decoded and synchronized to produce all audio tracks.

The least expensive used Dolbe E decoder that I have seen has been about $1000.

Click on that link above to take you to a previous thread on this topic. It has a ton of info on which audio PID is used for what.

Try different audio formats the fourth one is for the blind descriptive audio.

KE4EST, you have a better search engine than I have.
Thanks for the info.

It would be nice if NBC would simplify their audio. Is there a receiver that can integrate all these audio "channels"? I believe they have 4.

I'm a little confused, is the NBC audio decoded with Dolby E or Dolby DP569?

 

[KE4EST]

Dolby DP569 is a decoder.
