CANON Vixia HG21 Surround Sound?? Can anyone tell me if this will record in 5.1 surround sound?

It does not record to 5.1 Surround only Stereo. But you can re-output to 5.1 Surround using Pinnacle Studio 11/12, Sony Vegas or Ulead Video 11 video editing software.

Andrew, Unless you have about $500 burning a hole in your pocket, I wouldn't be in a hurry to spend the money on a new receiver. The vast majority of the High Def audio soundtracks are 5.1 surround. Go to the store and look at the discs yourself. True HD and DT 5.1 proliferate. LPCM 7.1 is pretty scarce. So what happens when you input 5.1 soundtracks through your 7.1 setup. Certainly, the rear speakers are offering nothing that the surround speakers aren't delivering, unless you're switching to a non HD audio fomat, such as Pro Logic 2x.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

You can use this player with your 5.1 receiver. You need to go into the player's audio setup menu and set the surround back channel to "None." The player will then only output to the 5.1 analogs (just leave the surround back analog connectors unused). This is what am doing.

If you already have a 5.1 setup, then why do you care about audio on this projector?Oh, after thinking about your question, I realized that you must not have a Home Theater Receiver. This projector is not an AV receiver. You can only hook up headphones/small speakers to this projector. You should really be using separate receiver for your speakers.

Answer is a qualified Yes. From Canon's specs: "Audio is AVCHD Satisfied: Dolby Digital 2 Channel (AC3); 5.1 Channel (with optional Canon SM-V1 5.1-Channel Surround Microphone)" Hope that helps! Great, great camera. Can't say enough positive about it!

Andrew:>Here's the problem: the stupid Pioneer certainly has 7.1 OUTPUTS to the 7 speakers and the sub, but the INPUTS are only 5.1You can still use the 7.1 outputs to the 5.1 inputs; just don't use surround back left and surround back right.

according to the product description "The RCA L/R output will not have sound if the incoming audio is multi-channel audio (>2CH)".So the answer depends on what your input audio signal is. it will NOT downmix 5.1 (or any >2channel) audio to stereo.

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

it will work CORRECTLY with any 5.1 surround system amplifier assuming you have a 5 speaker plus a subwoofer system. I can tell you it works great! worth the money.

to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as 11.2 channel surround. Most movie productions are done in 5.2 surround sound with an occasional 7.2 production and the industry does not seem poised to invest further at this time..I have long been a pioneer enthusiast my elite SC-79 is no exception

I bought the Canon HTC-100 HDMI cable for my Canon Vixia HFS10 camcorder. The picture quality is horrible! The color is way off -- yellow and muddy. The supplied component cables produce a far superior and accurate image. Anyone have any advice or should I just return the cable?

I use it for external audio with my canon dslr's. The preamp in those cameras is pretty lousy, so expect mediocre sound quality. I use an external audio recorder for it and sync the audio in post. I use the H1 Zoom and get excellent audio quality. Definitely the recommended method of recording audio with those cameras. I love this audio technica set as well. Sounds really great.

I can confirm that optical out is 5.1 surround.I have the optical out connected to my Denon receiver and watched an HD movie stremaing through the VUDU app on the LG tv. The streaming was a little slow at times, but I DID have 5.1 surround.

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis
