yamaha v661 - Blu-ray Forum

uniquetreatone · 12-08-2007, 11:17 PM

I have a question about the new sound formats(true hd,etc.).Does the ps3 breakdown these formats or does the receiver do it?

Jokerboy649 · 12-08-2007, 11:18 PM

umm I think the PS3?

uniquetreatone · 12-08-2007, 11:21 PM

Thanks. I see all these new receivers that say they process these things so i thought it was the receiver.

The PS3 is capable of Ujncompressed PCM and Dolby TrueHD.

We should be getting DTS-HD Master by Christmas...but who knows.

Anyways, the Yamaha 661 is 7.1 PCM capable...and as long as the PS3 decodes you will get Lossless audio. Its an excellent receiver.

Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know.I sure did not want to get another receiver so soon.It seems as soon as you buy one,theres another one with more features.

So for instance on Spiderman 3, do I choose true hd or the uncompress format? Does it really make a difference?

you can choose either.

But you have to have the PS3 output as Linear PCM. (easy way to toggle between Bitstream and LPCM is to hit the triangle button during movie and go to A/V Settings icon. )

also you have to be using the HDMI connection. (im sure you knew that...)

that is the receiver i have and i can't say enough about it. it's awesome. wait until you apply processing to signals over hdmi (a rarity in receivers). it's great!

the v661 is basically all you'll need for a long long time, if you got a ps3

It is a great receiver. Works great with the PS3. Supports 7.1 PCM and even 176khz & 88khz for SACD

I was playing with the remote for the 661 and i see a video convert in the menu.I thought it could not convert or is that different than upconverting?

Anyone with this receiver use any of the movie(drama,spectacle,etc)functions?I only use sur. decode just to see what signal is coming in.I have no idea if the movie functions change anything.
