I recently brought a yamaha 663,and i was wondering what is the best settings for watching blu rays,i have it hooked up to a ps3.Should i use srtaight mode or what. I would appreicate any suggestions.

Yes, straight mode plays the incoming audio without any additional processing through the appropriate channels. That is what I use when playing movies.

It really depends on what sounds best to you. Straight delivers the signal unaltered, but you may find that Adventure, Sci-Fi, or one of the other DSP modes works better with different movie types or sources.

I typically use mine in Straight mode, but every now and then I use Adventure or Sci-Fi. Most users are adamant that Straight mode is all you should use, but it's all up to your ears in your room.

I use the Direct Mode on the Denon and it is the same thing... Unaltered. And I used the Auto Format Direct mode on my old Sony too. I prefer the sound just as it was recorded not modified by some algorithm. That said I often use one of the Cinema Modes for watching cable (now uverse) to bring a little more life into the stereo DD track that they use.

The PS3 does your decoding and the receiver just delivers the sound. Straight all the time for me. Congrats on the new receiver.
