I do know that you can change the name of the channel (I changed mine to PS3 BD), but this stupid "DVD Multich" is what remains on the OSD.

And as for listening modes, I set mine on "MUltichannel" on all of them (For both my PS3 and my Xbox 360). Is this correct?

And also, "Direct" mode is definitely not the best mode for listening to music. I have mine set to "Studio-Mix".

(I'm using a 5.1 system)


Thanks

To answer your first question- you don't. It's displaying the input type. Since the PS3 decodes the audio and outputs it as LPCM, "Multich" PCM will be displayed. It's doing what it's supposed to do.

As to your second statement, that's up to opinion. That's why there are so many listening modes. I personally prefer "stereo"- I still get the Audyssey calibration that way and can still listen to 2channel. I don't like it matrixed out to the other speakers.
