So I was trying to watch 'Tears of the sun,' to no acoustic avail.....
I just couldn't get the reciever to accept a digital signal. The DVD player SAID DTS and DD whenever I chose it using the in-play options, but alas no DD, NO DTS.
Basically I had to watch a PCM Version of "Tears of the Sun' .
Good movie I thought.
Damn reciever.
So I finally thought about the DVD player ...AFTER THE MOVIE. It my parents so I really haven't had a chance to mess with it. TO make a long story short, I looked it up and found that the DVD player had an fing menu.:| .....Worst off, i had to have the drive EMTY for it to be accessible:| :|
Damn thing was set to PCM and NOT Bistream. DTS was also off, so 'adaptation' another rental for tommorow would have been in trouble too....
Anyways, there was no pint in watchign the movie again, so I just went to the good parts

[AOL Commercial]"WOW!"[/AOL Commercial]
IT was like night and day. I had the volume (Onkyo sr600) up to 50 and it was pretty loud, but in DD the amps kicked in and at 60 it was lound as hell BUT CLEAR AS A WHISTLE. I actually got close to 70 but my ears were buzzing.....
Then again, I am proud of my reciever. Watchign the movie in DDPLII was very enjoyable. DD was sooooo much better, but I was still impressed, although alittle peved at the thought of a faulty reciever.
Regarding my Sub: WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM!
For some reason, although it had cleared up in the last few days it had cleared up and was awesome, but a the highest setting, it always falterd. It DEFINTIELY must have been something i nthe basement, because I was about 9-11ft away fro mthe sucker, it it was PUMPING OUT SO MUCH BASS THAT I HAD TO TURN IT DOWN TO UNHEARD levels. And the bass was soooo clean. It was soo cool.
have you guys seen the Charlie's Angel's Trailer.....with that pink song?
I WAS WATCHING THAT AT 65+ AND IT WAS INSANE. NO DISTORTION. NO FUZZINESS. SOOOO MUCH NICE BASS.
WOW.......oh yeah., for some odd reason my AIWA center channel was awesome, and the POS techinics rears were really good too....
Of course my mirages...god help me for mentioning htem again...were ever so fantastic!
Damn...feels good to get that off my chest.
