Difference between dolby digital 2/0 and 3/2.1 ch?

I didn't see it in the specs. Maybe I missed it?

605 is still a better receiver.

Sony is not good at listing the proper specs...for receivers...I dont know about the other products.

Do you have HD sound, maybe you can give the OP some input on vs. uncompressed?

Uncompressed lossless audio sounds so much cleaner. To me it gives a more precise feel to the action on screen, and the ambient environment arround you. You notice the little things a little better, like the ping of a bullet hitting something, or chatter in the background of restaraunts... Kinda hard to describe with words.

but Its for me.

so then when people say the 710 can only get 2.0 PCM they are wrong. i get 3/2.1 which is 5.1 ch compressed right

3/2.1 is 5.1ch Compressed.

The 710 will still do 5.1PCM (uncompressed)

IMHO, I would rather use something other than Sony for a receiver. Sony makes excellent tv's and Blu-ray players, but I've never liked their car stereo lineup nor their home theater receivers or speakers. Pioneer, Onkyo, and Denon are my personal choice when it comes to sound.
