I run all of my music from my computer so I use PLIIx Music for that and I switch to PLIIx Movie when I watch movies from the computer. My PS3 outputs as PCM when I'm using that. The various listening modes should get you the bass and treble combos you want in different scenarios once you tweak the system to your liking.

Ok, I'll try that out. But there aren't any bass/treble adjustments I can make? Just curious.

Also, I was watching Terminator Salvation with my 1020 cranked up to -4.0db during that gas station scene that lasted like 5 -7 minutes or so. I stopped the movie to check on my receiver for heat, and it was kinda warm/slightly hot when placing my hand on over the top vents. The thing is, I'm running 6 ohm speakers to my 1020, which is an 8 ohm receiver. Is this a problem? Is that heat for that volume normal? Any input would be great. Thanks.
