TIbor Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hi There are a few setting for my receiver for the center rear Off. Non mtrx-same signals those of the surr channels are output from the surronf back channels Mtrx on-surround back channell is reproduced using digital matrix processing normal off No playback through surrond back normal on- surruond back channel is reproduced using digital matrix proccessing My question is when watching a 6.1 discrete movie which setting should it be on? How bought 5.1 which one? Prologic? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I would just be guessing, but I'd think Normal on would be best for discrete 6.1, and Matrix on for 5.1 (if you want to use your rear center). Didn't it come with an owners manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIbor Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Yes, But that descritption(for the modes) is exactly what the manual says and to me it doesnt seem to clearly specify! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Well, I think I'll stick to my 1st answer then, although Matrix on and Normal on don't seem to be any different. Again, I'm just guessing, but I'd bet that Normal on only plays when something is encoded (either discreet or matrix) for 6.1, whereas Matrix on will play anytime. All I can suggest is to try different movies, like ones you know have 6.1 and ones you know don't have 6.1, try the different settings, and listen to see if anything is coming out. Also, if I was in your shoes, I'd email Denon, and see what they have to say about it. The problem with a lot of these manuals is they were originally written in Japanese, then translated to English. That's what people mean when they say "Lost in Translation." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIbor Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 They said to stick it on mtrx on. That is what I have it on anyway...Although her explaination between matrx on and normal on. Did seem real good. I think she said they saound alittle different. I will just have to test and listen through time Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
