you shouldn't have to choose

I have a elite 53 tx and I am pretty sure that the receiver detects the audio format for you. Whatever the audio format of the blue ray, cd, or hi def channel you are viewing is automatically detected by the receiver and that format is processed by the receiver. If more than one format is detected you can choose which one you want to use, but that is mostly with blueray and sacd.

The auto surround modes are used for matrixing stereo sources into multichannel. If the source is already multichannel, then the receiver detects it and either decodes it or plays it depending on how it is sent. The lossless codecs will require you to have a BD player that can handle them. Not all of them do.

Auto surround on that receiver just indicates it's the default. Using direct or pure direct may dissable your bass management, I would not advise that. THX post processing is supposed to make harsh sound tracks sound more toned down, but uncompressed lossless PCM shouldn't have audible compression issues. If your speakers are naturally bright or fatiguing maybe using the THX post processing will help, but if you are experiencing very good sound without the THX post processing, I would leave it at auto.

thank you. i find that the thx makes it sound un realistic. the pure direct is too dull. thanks for your recomendations.

as for my blu ray player it is a ps3

i set it to pcm
