Do you care about processing 5.1 hi rez PCM to 7.1 with new RSP 1069

[Nolan B]

I curios to know how many people have a 7.1 setup and have HD DVD/BD or both and want to be able to process 5.1 hirez PCM to 7.1.

I am hoping it shows a lot of people are interested in the new RSP 1069 and a lot of people have BD and or HD DVD with a 7.1 suround system.

No option for "I have a 7.1 system, but don't mind listening the the soundtrack the way it was mixed."

Its like aspect ratio to me. I would never watch a 2.35 movie in some cropped or zoomed mode...because thats not how it was meant to be watched. I guess I feel the same with the sound. You might actually decrease the overall desired effect of the sound in some cases if you send the signal to places it wasn't really designed to be. Probably not noticeable to most people, but an idea.

But it would be nice I guess to have the option.

Even for those with a 5.1 setup - Dont you want to process PCM??? (multiple crossover speaker settings, cinema EQ, tone control etc?)

I think we all want to process PCM and abeing able to apply Rotel XS or PLIIx to the PCM feed is not asking for much more.

If they Don't , I'm going Pioneer Elite vxs94tsxi for my new preamp.

I agree with this.

This gets my vote. :T

Its like using PL or 2X to listen to 2 channel music. I don't care how some people think it sounds. I listen to 2 channel with 2 channels. I mean I might as well use the "ambience" modes built into my Sony CDP. Hall, Theater, Cathedral and so on.
