Does DVD-V200K have a built-in Dolby Digital (Surround) (AC-3) decoder?
Yes, DVD-V200K does have a built-in decoder with Dolby Digital (Surround) (AC-3) processing; however, the output is only 2-channel stereo. No, from the modem day definition/understanding of a so-called built-in AC-3 decoder. Regardless, you can attach the DVD-V200K to a Dolby Digital-ready (i.e., 5.1-ready) A/V receiver/processor/amplifier to enjoy the benefits of 5.1 channel surround sound audio.
