Can anyone please help with Yamaha 6063 (567) settings (WAF on the line)!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I've just finished installing my new system, including in-wall speaker wiring that included me busting through the ceiling from the attic (big hit to the WAF - you'll see how this comes into play in a second)!
System is:
TV: Toshiba 47ZV650U Regza
AVR: Yamaha HTR-6063 (RXV567)
BRP: Sony BDP-S570
PVR: Bell express-Vu 9241
Speakers:
Front: Paradigm Cinema 70 v2.0
Centre: Paradigm Cinema CC v2.0
L & R Surround: Paradigm Cinema 70 v2.0
L & R Back: Speakercraft MT-Two in-wall
Sub: Paradigm PDR8 v.3
Have run YPAO and saved.
Now - The critical moment is near. I simply MUST play a movie and blow away my wife. It would be a dark day if it was disappointing and I got "that's what all the fuss and mess was for?" Especially having busted a stucco ceiling (which are a bugger to fix)!
The sources I have on hand and what it says on the back of the boxes are as follows:
Blu-Ray:
_______
Transformers: Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital
Transformers 2: Dolby Digital, dts-HD
T2: 5.1 Dolby Digital EX, dts-HD 6.1, THX
Book of Eli: dts-HD 5.1, Dolby Surround 5.1 (DVD version)
DVD:
__________
Quantum of Solace (DVD)olby Digital 5.1, dts 5.1
So here's where I am confused.
Are MOVIE, MUSIC, SUR. DECODE, and STRAIGHT mutually exclusive?
(I'm going to ignore PURE DIRECT and ENHANCER for now for simplicity)
The wording in the manual implies that the various SUR. DECODE modes are for "turning 2-ch source into surround" but I'm not sure about this. Also, they seem to be older decoders - Dolby Pro-logic for example - is that an accurate observation? In short - when does one use these? Do you have to pick the one that matches what it says on the disc?
How do you playback "the best available on the disc"? the way the maker of the disc intended. Is this what STRAIGHT is for? How does it know what decoding to use.
For example, Transformers: has Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital. I assume Dolby True HD is the better - how do I select / playback this? Can I / should I layer a MOVIE mode (like Sci-Fi) on top of this?
Example 2: T2 has 5.1 Dolby Digital EX, dts-HD 6.1. How do I use the one I want? Is it as simple as selecting the one I want to use on the blu-Ray player and setting the Yamaha to STRAIGHT? Again, Can I / should I layer a MOVIE mode (like Sci-Fi) on top of this?
The "Extended Surround" setting - seems like it would have quite an effect - since most source stuff is still 5.1 not 7.1, is this correct? What is the reccommended setting? I'm thinking "Auto" or "EX/ES"?
Which movie and even scene would you recommend, and with what settings?
Final questions:
Should I bother with Virtual CINEMA DSP 3D mode?
When is it appropriate to use ENHANCER? For MP3's for example?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING AND FOR ANY HELP,
Bill
