api.... i know wat ps3 decodes and not lar... aiyah,,,
the amp is getting mpcm from ps3 , irregardless of truehd , dd or DTS, tats how it works
unless i set it to bitstream(ps3) then only it will light up as dd or dts or pcm 2ch
so how?
ok. ok...
hm let me think.
so, u set-up ur PS3 to output HDMI audio in PCM rite? correct?
irregardless of hd audio or legacy DD/DTS u select, it will show MPCM on the receiver? ok... because u set PS3 PCM output. ok
so the problem is when u set PCM to your PS3 and play PCM sources, somewhat the volume is lower.
am i correct with above statement?
ok rx. the answer is right in front of u. your receiver didn't process the PCM source. thats it.
ok, my 661 have a function called 'pure direct mode' whereby all the processing (DTS/DD/PII/amplify/EQ/speaker settings and all the processing) will be shut off. the receiver only pass the input signal to speakers. when i play anything (DVD/BD/Audio CD/DTV/ and all) and activate this mode, the sound will became weak (low volume) and sound is not good.
and this relate to your situation whereby PCM sources sounded lower on your receiver.
am i answering your question?

or?
u set ur PS3 in PCM. then u select pcm on the BD, it sounded low. but when u select DD/DTS it became ok (but ur PS3 still in PCM mode)?
