\"QuestionImage\"<\/a>  Isn’t it time you told people the truth about Dolby noise reduction? As anyone can tell, the Dolby is a noise maker. When you think it’s off, it’s really on, making an irritating hiss. When you think you’ve turned the Dolby on, you’re really turned it off, giving the impression of a big improvement. Why don’t you ever mention this? <\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"  Come off it, Ray. I know that this is really a message from Ray Dolby, the inventor of Dolby noise reduction.
