i never heard of preset speaker settings within any code. i would like to see what a receiver would do with the sound bitstreamed then. in any case, it should be the same going out of the speakers bitstreamed or not. there are too many differences in every house or where ever. its the receivers job to adjust speakers.

when i first hooked up my ps3 to the 705 via hdmi, after adjusting speakers settings, the very first blu i played came up multichannel, not direct.
