Current Sound Setup - Blu-ray Forum

UFAlien · 12-15-2008, 06:43 PM

Sorry if there's been a poll for this, but I did the search and found nothing...

So, what do you use?

Right now I'm on TV speakers, but I'm getting a proper surround system on or just after Xmas.

You didn't put in a choice for 6.1
That's what I have, and yes it supports lossless. I did run wire so that I could add 7.1, but so far I haven't heard a soundtrack that made me think "wow, I really need 2 back speakers"

I have the 7.1 but seems all i hear is 5.1 unless its a new formatted Blu ray

I know, I was in a hurry and didn't enter as many options as I needed, hence the "other".

5.1 Lossless for me. I love it

Well, my reciever is 7.1 (lossless) but I only utilize a 5.1 setup since there are is so little 7.1 discrete source material. I can't justify the money for matching surrounds since there is next to nothing published with a 7.1 soundtrack.

I have the same, but marked supports 5.1 lossless. Not sure what would be the "correct" choice. I guess 5.1 since i dont have the 2 rear speakers hooked up...

Did you just ignore 6.1 setups all together? I have a 6.1 lossless setup, which contains a single center rear surround speaker instead of two. DTS-ES and Dolby Digital-EX soundtracks were 6.1, and Dolby True HD and DTS-HD MA 7.1 soundtracks are mapped through correctly by most receivers.

I had to select "other" in the poll.
