question for pioneer amp

[jordan21]

i just picked up the 91thx amp from pioneer

i set up the auto mcacc and it was fantastic.

the only question i have, is i run the ps3 lpcm, and was wondering what sound setting you prefer..

right now i use auto surround but there are such settings as pure direct, direct, thx cinema etc

anyone have any suggestions or past experience with the pioneer receivers

i picked up this reciever for 599.00! i love it

i have a question though for you experienced guys.

is anyone familiar with the phase control options that pioneer has, and whether or not they are any good?

i have a yamaha amp
they have this thing called cinema dsp which is an enhanced decode for sound....
there is also an option for straight decode..

do any of you have any experience with this and preference as to what setting to use

i watch a lot of blu rays

thanks

what made you upgrade?

 

[jordan21]

the yamaha was a low end
the pioneer has hdmi 1.3a

with my pio primarly i listen to music so alot of 2 ch, but for movies if the title has dts option i go that what way instead of dd, tv alot of neo6, pl2x, dont really dsp alot other than that. just swapped my new center for the next model up(frescoi), whatched inspector gadget with my daughter and wow, just dd though

The direct/pure direct mode might bypass the bass management, so you don't want to do that. THX will likely dull the sound, it's meant for harsh soundtracks, which won't be as big an issue with the uncompressed HD audio formats. I would leave it on auto.

 

[bandphan]

do you use different macc settings for different sources?

 

[jordan21]

no i have just the one mcacc, most of my watching is blu rays and dvd's.

i think auto surround would be my best bet
