I'm making a fresh batch of popcorn now []

Would changing the hz(on the ps3) make cds sound different? well i am not too sure as I changed a few settings, not just the hz to 44.1. and really i am clueless when it comes to these things, though right now my 2ch listening has never sounded better to me.

Sounds like you may have to revisit your music collection to see what sounds you may have missed that your other cd player did not pick up...... Like what has been said above... Enjoy [Y]

I dont even know what 44.1Khz even means I only changed it cause i read it somewhere.

Cal - thank you for your post, i really only switched to pure direct from 2ch stereo as the sound diffrence to me was night and day and which resulted in my post as i was unsure if this was correct. But in saying this when I hear shops selling audio gear with a similar set up to me many that I have seen listen to pure direct. psg - thank you to, it clears my mind knowing that the change to 44.1 was most likely the right choice, I brought dire straights cd last night and sounded awesome indeed. i know i dont have the set up that many have here in 2ch area as I have seen some pics and OMG amazing!,

Hi there I am just not sure if I have the correct settings for two channel on my PS3 when listening to CD's.This is what I am using Rotel Power Amp, Yamaha RX-V667, PS3, Front stage, RF35, RW12 and RC7 and RS35 surrounds. All speakers are set to small and ps3 connecting to AVR through HDMI. PS3 I have adjusted the settings to 2ch PCM 176.4Khz and changed the CD sound on PS3 from 48K to 44.1K. Is this ok? (I am really clueless when it comes to this)With these settings I am very happy with the sound when playing in Pure Direct mode, though in this mode I have no Sub, though in saying this I seem to be getting good bass from the RF35's.Then in 2Ch stereo mode i seem to be getting good sound and sub but i personally prefer the pure direct mode over the 2 channel mode, in 2 channel mode i seem to be loosing volume compared to pure direct.I suppose my quesion is, does my settings look right on the ps3. or do I need to adjust more. I also have the latest firmware updates on PS3.

great photos indeed..

+1 for The Game - I really enjoyed this film. The Sixth Sense - another film i also enjoyed and have in my collection

11,12 I cant think of anything that rymes with twelve, oh well no need to dwelve

Congratulations.

my preferance is 2CH for music, and Straight or Pure Direct for movies

Has someone said HP Deathly Hallows Pt1 yet, well I watched the BD on my HT and I thought a great movie and had awesome AV

Thanks Tarheel, I am fine and out of harms way, though the floods have been devastating to the affected areas. I have not posted in a while, just been very busy and have not been on line much these days.

Congratulations to you both... [Y]

Compliment....… peace…..

I didnt get it [:'(] i got there 30 minutes after the shop opened as something unexpected came up and in the mean time it was sold.. missed out.. oh well not meant to be.. thanks again for everyones thoughts.. next time i suppose..

thanks James - will do...

Thanks Dennie, yeah it has all the ins and outs i need for sure..

so you all must be sick of me posting about a new AVR for use with preamp and recently almost pulled the trigger on a Marantz but that fell through. So i can have a chance of buying a Yamaha RX-V665 for a good price, ex-demo model but with full warranty from an authorised dealer. I'll be connecting to a older model PS3, so i know now, thanks Wuzzzer, to set ps3 to linear PCM [] and i know i wont get the fancy lights on the receiver [] but sound still the same.. [] I know the RX-V663 has more power rating but i will be using this as a pre to my Rotel power amp, so power on avr is a non issue in this case. what you all think, any opinions would be welcome. i am heading out the door in an hour.. when doors open.. lol just want to achieve latest sound formats on BD, i have read so many on this and just want to see for my self with difference in sound quality.

wuzzzer - congratulations and enjoy.. [Y]

many thanks Wuzzzer, i do have an older PS3, and preouts is good for me..

Sooo, I am really considering buying this unit, Marantz SR4003, as I have a chance at getting it at a reasonable price.. I have also read great reviews on this unit. What I want to achieve is, enjoying the latest sound formats that BluRay offers, re Master HD, True HD, etc.. Can achieve this, this Marantz model has HDMI ins and out Using PS3 for BluRay – do I let the PS3 do the decoding.. I am really clueless in this area.. Has anyone have experience with this model, here are the specs.. http://us.marantz.com/Products/2513.asp

I still can not believe I have not seen this movie yet

well i watched Inception last night.. can I just say that i thought it was fantastic, though i would need to watch it again as i need some clarification on certain things..
