AVR, Blu-ray, analog audio, DTS master & Dolby True HD

[duder1234]

Hi guys,

Denon AVR 2803
Pioneer BDP-320

Well, after reading the sticky about a non HDMI receiver and the ability to play DTS Master and Dolby True HD, I picked up some analogue audio cables from monoprice.com.

Hook em' ep...and I have sound.

However, the LFE was very low at first...not to mention all the speakers. I figured out that the AVR's EXT. IN subwoofer level was at 0dB, so I put it back at the default of +15dB. LFE is better.

But...It seems as thought the BDP-320 is bypassing my AVR's 80Hz crossover. I even have the BDP's crossover set to 80Hz. I say this because the LFE became a bit muddy. I popped in some test tones and the sub was playing frequencies higher than 80 Hz.

I checked my AVR's initial settings (levels, distance, crossover) and they all remained unchanged from my optical/digital days.

I can adjust the level, distance, and crossover in the BDP-320's menu...but I was advised to use the AVR for adjustments if possible.

Basically, I have sound...but it's as if there is no crossover. Could this "effect" be the change from digital to analog sound?

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
