| Best listening modes for someone with a 5.1 setup?
I have a 5.1 setup and wondering what some of the best processing modes may be for watching movies that have DD, DD+ or TrueHD. I know the best thing is to just listen and see what sounds best. However I'm a bit confused as to which modes would even make sense.
For example, would a Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode even make sense considering I only have 5.1? My understanding is that format has something to do with 6.1 and 7.1? Or could this mode be helpful by creating a phantom surround back channel?
Usually I set the receiver to "straight" mode (not PURE mode) because it has a tendency to mess with the bass EQ (boosts in areas I don't want boosts).
With certain sound formats my Yamaha receiver actually shows a surround back speaker in its front panel like I have a 6.1 setup FWIW.
Thanks!
