Does the cassette player have Dolby decoding?

It has a cassette player. I don't know about Dolby decoding. Don't even know what that is.

I doubted very seriously, the sound is very basic, no stereo or anything. If anything I enjoy listening to my LP's and favorite radio stations...The recording of LP's to CD's is nothing spectacular at all, not like you can select "Rock, Stereo, Jazz or anything. The CD has always skipped and just stopped playing while listening to music. I tried to send it back but kept getting a run around. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

actually...this does support Dolby Pro Logic. thus it does "synthesize" the stereo audio as you call it.look up Pro Logic and see how it handles "encoded" and normal stereo audio tracks.

. I think so, don't they all. I also had bad luck with an RCA shoebox. Can anyone recommend a cassette player that works? Thanks!

It plays a cassette so that you can convert the content of the cassette to a computer file. So, no it does not record.

Yes Jim, it has both in and out RCA stereo jacks. It is nice machine. Only shortcoming is it lacks auto-reverse, but I knew that before I bought it. My only use is to convert my old casette tapes to digital format.Dick

According to the manual, the BDP-S300 can decode Dolby TrueHD as the Toshiba HD-XA2 does. It sends the signal out through the audio out L/R jacks, the optical and coaxial jacks as well as the HDMI out jack.Check out page 48 of this PDF manual --> http://www.sonystyle.com/wcsstore/SonyStyleStorefrontAssetStore/pdf/BDPS300.pdfThere are a number of contradictory articles online which claim otherwise.

No speakers are included, just a really nice cassette player with a lot of "Futuristic Features" to enjoy your old tapes in your collector car. Any speakers will sound fine, remember tape noise ?

Not directly. You would need to copy the cassettes to a computer and then copy them onto a CD.

Yes it plays as well ... I'm a tech dummy and had some challenges figuring out which buttons governed the cassette vs the CD playing functions, but once I got that figured out I was OK ... it's a great little machine!!

Ananth, I too had an issue with my pioneer dvd player not reproducing Dolby Digital. It would play DD from the Dish box and usually sounded great. This was one of several "quirks" that made me return this unit.

Yes. There is a combined SPDIF & 1/4 stereo jack, the adapter is included in the box. This allows you to use both the DolbyDigital Encoder and native 5.1 DolbyDigital optical output. The jack is configured through the software.

If your receiver does not decode the new audio formats you will only get 2 channel audio over the optical or coaxial cables. This player will decode all the new formats, and output it to 7.1 analog cables. If your receiver has a 7.1 analog input you can then hear the sound from these new formats without upgrading your receiver.

It only has RCA jacks for L-R audio. There are no audio outputs for Dolby 5.1; no optical output for audio either.

Hello......Yes, this plays cassettes too...I also have a large collection of them that I don't want to give up, so this fits the bill!

The answer to your question, unfortunately, is no. This unit is primarily for transferring your music from cassette and LP to CD. There is also a very fine radio included, if that type of copying interests you.

Yes. From the technical details: Built In Decoder: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, DTS decoder

Yes, I didn't even remember buying this one, but since it is on record, I must have. The information from the manufacturer states< "38% larger playback speaker for enhanced sound" which would mean that you can record and play it back or put in other cassettes.
