[melocubs]

decode the lossless sound or my bdp-s350? and if so what settings should i put it on. i have the polk rm6750. thanks in advance!

Well you will have to bitstream out DTS HD anyways, and I am sure the Onkyo will convert the signal better then the BDP you have so I would say let the Onkyo do the decoding.

thanks for your opinion im going to have my 606 decode then!

always better to let the amp decode when possible

So my settings for my 606 will be like this
Analog/PCM = Direct
Dolby Digital = Dolby Digital
DTS = DTS
D.F. 2Ch = PLIIx Movie
D.F. Mono = Mono Movie
Multich PCM = Multich
192k/176.4k = Direct
Dolby TrueHD = Dolby TrueHD
DTS-HD Master Audio = DTS-HD MSTR
DSD = DSD
the receiver shows dd true hd when i was watching iron man but when i clicked display on my sony-bdp s350 it shows dolby true hd 3/2.1 48khz.
Is this the best setting available or am i missing something in my settings. and by the way iron man looks awesome on my tv.

Hey melocubs, I have the same speakers and player as you. But I have the 605. If the 606 is showing True HD then it is receiving that signal from the player. You are using an HDMI cable right?

[melocubs]
