Universal are out & Out LIARS.
Just bought a 2CD/DVD set of Siouxsie & The Banshees - Best Of.
All over the box it states - clearly - the following Audio streams:
1 - DTS Digital Surround
2 - Dolby Digital 5.1
3 - PCM Stereo.
Whoopee!
Play the disc, NO DTS. NO PCM.
Dolby Freaking Digital - across the board. Even the stereo.
WHY?
 
Ya gotta admit one thing though ... Dolby Labs are VERY good at establishing their brand. Dolby cassettes, Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital ... and neither of those "standards" represented the state of the art at the time.
 
Disconnect between marketing depts I would guess; may have been planned with DTS and they got amnesia/cold feet and forgot to update the packaging for us savvy consumers.
 
I'm STILL pissed about the Kinks SACDs released a while back that were mislabeled as surround releases when in fact they were stereo only.

:mad:
