Hey everyone.
Just got my new Denon avr 1910 and Paradigm Cinema 110 home and set up last night. Watched Wall-E and thought it was amazing.
Im just at the point now where I want to be sure im getting the best out of this system as possible. Im pretty newbish when it comes to instructions and setting up.
I have the ps3 on linear pcm (sp?), the receiver does not say what the audio decode is but i dont think it is supposed too. I did the auto auddessy sync last night and it was really messed up (thought i was 14 feet away from the left front but only 8 from the right front, so I customised the settings). I have the db. setting as what I enjoyed last night.
Im just wondering if anyone knows of anything I could do to make sure im getting the best possible audio and how to optimize my receiver.
I also noticed that the 1080p unconversion on my analog sources does not make for a great picture, and on the left and right fronts play sound when im using this source (all work on the ps3 though).
Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Try setting the upconversion on the Denon to 1080i, and make sure DRC is set to off on both the Denon and PS3. Have a Dolby True HD movie playing to shut off DRC on the Denon to test this, it's kind of a pain to find in the menu setup, check the manual for guidance, Also, check HDMI audio settings on the PS3 to make sure all the appropriate boxes are checked. The Denon will only show multi-channel PCM, since the PS3 is doing the decoding. Set the Denon for PLIIX for the analog sources, to get surround from stereo. Best of luck.
