I have owned a RDC-7 for several months and there is something that I haven't figured out. My unit came with the PLII and DTS-ES upgrade. In menus 3-5 and 3-6 you can set the Prologic II mode to either "Movie" or "Music" for those surround modes (2 channel). These settings appear to be global and not input specific. That is, let's say I want my CD input to have PLII Music Mode but I want my VCR input to have PLII Movie Mode. It seems that whatever I set in the 3-5 and 3-6 menus affects all inputs. If I set 3-5 to PLII Movie, then PLII Music is not available. Am I not understanding this properly? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for contributing to the dialog at Club Integra!
While the settings for Dolby Pro Logic II via the Setup menus appear to be applicable to all inputs, selection of one via the Setup menus does NOT preclude use of the other. After selecting an input source, if you repeatedly press the "Surround" key on the remote (labelled "4" on the face of the key itself), you can toggle through the available surround mode choices. Keep going through the list long enough and you will see both PLII Music and PLII Movie displayed (not at the same time, of course). :>) Simply stop cycling through the choices at the one you want to be in effect for that source.

Have had the setup for 2 months and everything has been fine until now. The other night I had company over to watch a movie. I activated Video 2 [assigned to DVD with Default Mode set to DPLIIC] but it came up in Bypass mode.

I watch a lot of SD video through my 1055 (analog cable channels, for example.) Two modes: through Tivo (analog audio to 1055) or Moto5100 STB (digital audio to 1055). In either case, I've been very disappointed with the 5-channel imaging of DD PLII Cinema -- seemed overly concentrated on the front-center... -
Hello again. What is everyone using for surround mode when watching a movie and what are the differences if any in sound? (Dolby D+ xs, Dolby D+ plII, etc.) Also, does anyone know the life of the tft screen on the unit and is ok to leave it on with a different source all the time like a cable feed?... -
I dropped in a CD and immediately noticed that something didn't sound right (and that "awfulness" was coming from the rear speakers). Somehow, my RSP-1066 was in "Dolby PLII Music" mode.
I decided to do some investigation. I cut the output of the front left and right... -
Anyone see the latest "Stereophile Guide To Home Theater"? The October 2003 issue has a review of the fully upgraded Integra Research RDC-7, a follow-up review by the same critic who raved about it in the February 2001 issue. (That review persuaded me to track one down for an audition.)...11 September 2003, 17:42 Thursday
