DU73 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I have different speakers and power amp but I am using a Yamaha AVR and a PS3 so we are close.. sort of. Why did you change the 48K to 44.1K? If you like the sound, then all is well. There really isn't a "right or wrong" way but what sounds best to you, with your ears, in your room with your music. I mostly use this setup for TV viewing, for gaming and movies. For serious listening, I have a dedicated 2 ch setup and for serious movies, I have a HT but the PS3 is a good player and I have no issues with it. As this is my TV setup, I never use the pure direct but if you like it, more power to you! My AVR is old enough to not have HDMI inputs so I run HDMI to the TV from my sources and PCM via Tosslink back to the AVR from the TV.

psg Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Why did you change the 48K to 44.1K? I CDs are encoded at 44.1 KHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU73 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 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!, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 OK, I never paid attention to it and I don't play very many CDs 99.9% LPs.. .. just wondering and now I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU73 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 I dont even know what 44.1Khz even means I only changed it cause i read it somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I dont even know what 44.1Khz even means I only changed it cause i read it somewhere. Would changing the hz(on the ps3) make cds sound different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
