If u have PS3 remote control for Blu-ray u can press DISPLAY button to check the soundtrack info. It will display DTS-HDMA or Dolby TrueHD if PS3 decodes internally.

Eh, I meant for the receiver la, not our eyes laugh.gif

There's no way the receiver will know the format.

just set the ps3 to lpcm and sampled clips from 'the assembly'....noticed some details missing from the core dts when i had it on bitstream. then again...probably from my noob ears and even more amateurish 5.1 speakers setup.....found spot for the last 2 channels! now just need to find the pair of speakers to use....and the dreaded wiring.

Hey guys,

What is DTS HD of 7.1 speakers set-up ?? Do I need 2 pairs of surround speakers ? What are the effects ?

Also, do I need a HD support AVR to enjoy this 7.1 effect ?

Please advise, thanks.

For PS3, any HDMI receiver that can accept multichannel PCM is sufficient. But better be prepared with the ones that can decode HD audio onboard, who knows you could be buying a standalone BD player that can bitstream HD audio later on (like the Panny BD30).

I am on 7.1 setup now. Later, may be 7.2 whistling.gif

Temporary using B&W standmount for rear surr. Right now, still waiting for my sub

On another note, how many of you guys got problem with your speakers while playing these lossless codecs?

Easy, buy a splitter and plug it into the sub out. Not necessary but a bit tricky to fine tune it

Thanks a thousand times for the picture which describe everything.

Few questions arise:

1) That 7.1 set up seems applicable for a spacious room. What about if you have normal size terrace house living room where your seating position is next to the rear wall ?? For 5.1 set up the 2 rear speakers are facing other, then where to out additional 2 rears for 7.1 set up?

2) Why 4 rear speakers and not front 4 and 2 rears instead ??

Please help to posion me into BD world one day !!!

Tricky in tunin to suit ur room but overall itd still be more powderful(louder) than one sub .
But in most instances, one gud sub is better than 2 mediocre one la..

Thou' there is talk tat wif diff subs.. stronger in diff freq .. itd actually make de overall listenin better but there is a lot of trial n error in matchin diff subs..
