  3. Audio Processing
    http://srslabs.com/landing.aspx?id=2459 Looks interesting. I've asked myself why surround sound systems don't approach sound fields in this way. The only issue I see is with implementation. You would need a cheap mic that would be able to distinguish the direction sound is coming from.
  4. System Setup and Connection
    I currently have my blu ray player set to output PCM. Is this the best setting? Does this mean that the receiver decodes into DTS or Dolby? Do you normally keep your receiver on direct? If you only have 5.1, when or which DSPs would you use for different materials? Any input on any of this...

    I have done some reading, but don't feel that my query has been definitively answered. What I want to know is whether I need to buy new features or if what I have does the same thing. I have a HK avr347 which plays multi ch PCM, a fat ps3 which outputs Dolby true hd and DTS HD-MA as multi ch...

    Hi guys and gals, I recently built a home theatre and was feeling quite proud of myself. I not only did all the construction but I wired everything and installed all the equipment to have it all work perfectly and I`m really happy with it. Yesterday however, I went to my brother-in-law`s to...

    Hello all, I'm running a Samsung BDP-s550 into a Pioneer VSX-918V reciever via HDMI. On standard def DVDs, the display on the reciever reads Dolby Surround/Digital, and I can hear all the seperation and detail in the soundtrack, so all is right with the world. On the other hand, when Blu Ray...

I have turned off dynamic compression and PCM downsampling on the samsung, but I was wondering if I should use the PCM or Bitstream(audiophile) option.

    I just got our new AV receiver hooked up last week. I have been tweaking, tuning, reading all our manuals, and doing pretty good. Since this Yamaha 6160, aka 663, can decode and output many audio codecs, I just need some advice on how to set my source equipment. I am using HDMI cables in and out...

    Please help me settle a minor dispute. A source device which shall go nameless (it's not hi-fi gear, it's a mass produced retail item that sells for about $300) and we'll say hypothetically say it's capable of either bitstream or PCM via its HDMI output to your middle/hi-end hi-fi receiver...

  15. System Setup and Connection
    And here's another issue... Could it be that my HDMI cables connecting the BD player and receiver are not sending the TrueHD or uncompressed tracks in their full glory? Would I be hearing anything at all then? When I pass bitstreamed Dolby and DTS to the receiver from my Blu ray player over...
