Surround Sound and other processing modes - 02/21/05 03:27 PM
I have been playing around with the various modes (PLII, etc.) on the 950 and so far for most radio and CD's, the 5 channel stereo sounds the best. I am using a 5.1 setup.
The PLII C or M modes sound very compressed - most of the sound from the front (center/left/right) and very little from the surrounds. The 5 channel on the other hand tends to "fill" the room better. This is even after (for PLII M) adjusting Panorama, Dimension and Center. They don't seem to have any appreciable impact. I tried this with NEO:6 only to get the same poor results.
As a result I default to 5 channel for most listening.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. It seems like PLII/NEO:6 would also have a better "room filling" sound to them. Am I missing something? Any suggestions on what to tweak?
Thanks,
Mukund
