Superbit DVD help - Bad Boys
Hello,
I lent a friend Bad Boys superbit, and she says she gets no sound.
GUy at work said he heard that some superbit dvds gave problems on some players. THe brand of her dvd player is an RCA but I forgot the model, but I am more interested in knowing what the issue is in general.
The funny thing is, her player, used to be mine. I gave it to her (since she was only close friend without a dvd player and I have 3 in the house)...when I had it, I ran Fifth Element and Bram Stoker's Dracula superbits on it and it was fine. Bad Boys I got after I had given it away so I only tried it on my new player which was fine.
Any ideas?
Let me know. REgards,
Sanjay

Why do Superbit DVDs have DD, and not just DTS? I understand that not everyone has the ability to play DTS, but in all Superbit cases (I believe), there is a DD DVD counterpart. If they were to leave off the DD soundtrack, couldn't they improve/not compress the DTS soundtrack.

maybe the disc is playing on DTS sound and player is set to Dolby Digital..(could have reset itself when you gave it to her and she plugged back in) i know i had to change my setting on my player to turn DTS option on..wouldn't a DTS disc playing on a Dolby set up prevent from not hearing anything?
