7.1 Audio Question

[Shanester]

Solar & BIslander,

I took your advice and made some modifications last night. I think it's ok now.

My reciever now shows "Multi Channel In" dvd. I only had 5 speakers for now. Will be getting two more soon for full 7.1.

I know that in of the the menus I think it's "audio setup" I have to select (7.1) right now it's at Zone2 foR 5.1

I did notice the dialogue now comes only from the centre speaker which I guess is the way it's suppose to be as oppose to all five speakers.

I also made some othe rminor adjustemnts to the sound menus and it seems to be better overall than before.

I tested Rambo (great disc btw) and I use to have the volume at about -20 and it was pretty loud for me now even at -25 to -30 everything comes in loud and clear

The scene where Sara goes and visits John and there talking on the doc and it's pouring rain. I really felt like I was standing in the middle of that storm.

I guess my overall set up is correct now??

I have another question when I click on the "information menu" to check the status of everything nothing pops up. How come??

On my player (sony s550) I should always leave at 48khz/16khz instead of 96/24???

Thanks for all your help guys
