Got it.

I ordered my unit along with some cables.

I also did some testing and suprisingly enough I am getting a .1 signal via DVD-A's that I tried out.

My DVD player decodes DTS and DolbyD. I get a .1 signal on the multichannel, when playing DolbyD: EX I do not get a .1 channel so I need to use my reciever.

I'm going to play with the bass management this afternoon when I pick up a DVD that will help me tune it. There are a ton of options and I'm sure I can weed it out just the book is not very descriptive. Going to have to play around with it.

At least the unit has a memory so I can save a few sets of adjustments and swap between them to listen and see how it is.

If anything I use the THX mode since it does seem to offer a more full sound.

On your question on which sounds better. From my small experimenting in the past minutes DTS sounds better from the reciever and DolbyD sounds better from the DVD player.

Just have to wait for my ICBM to show and hook it up.

The wife is just lovin' me this morning
