QUOTE(aiman04 @ Sep 23 2008, 06:29 AM) PS3 does bitstream. But all it will only bitstream the standard DTS and Dolby Digital only. So for DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD sources, PS3 will take the core DTS and Dolby Digital packet inside the track instead. Myqd, set the Onkyo receiver listening preset to multich for minimal processing (this will only do appropriate crossovers/speaker settings). Unless you want to add more processing, you can set THX Cinema, etc to your liking. But I like to listen just as the director intended, multich fo me. what you're saying above is.....in order to get Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA from PS3, the audio has to be set on PCM on PS3 setting, even if the AVR has the decoding capability, right? |

let's see what i am missing (if there's any) later this evening...i think i've set my ps3 to bitstream.
i have The Assembly with DTS-MA on it. even with the standard DTS, its already ground-shaking.

actually i put my money into the sound system first....way first before i bought my 1st lcd tv......
11 years ago...started watching movies with DTS tracks on 14" and 20" CRT...muahahahaha.
but now...i still dont have 7.1 speaker setup. too lazy to add the last 2 channels. plus the wiring....a bit of pain in the butt.
how about warlords? anyone tried that? any good?

ever wonder why men are so particular about the details in the audio track? but when the gf/wife/mom/etc talks to him, the fella would go....'huh? what did you say just now?"

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.

mikapoh....dont worry too much abt the TV....especially since you have just bought it. i had the headache before as well......instead of replacing the HD ready TV......i decided i'd spend the money on something else.
actually i'd get the amp and speakers first before the bd player. the bd player will feel a lot cheaper after the receiver and speakers purchase...hehehe
by the way, optical input, you wont be getting the HD audio stuffs.

was just using the terms to differentiate the 2 resolutions..
HDready=720p/1080i
FullHD= 1080p
otherwise how?
1K and 2K?

QUOTE(Blackhart @ Sep 25 2008, 06:13 PM) The jump from 720p HD Ready to 1080p Full HD is not as great as from 480 SD to 720p HD, unless you watch them through a very big screen. yep...couldnt agree more |
