My new surround sound system is an Onkyo TX-NR501 with an Onkyo 5.1 system
My Blu ray player is a Samsung BD-C53000
I'd like to know what I need to know to get the most out of this system for various tasks:
Playing FM radio from amp: "PL2 music" sounds good to me? Seems to separate the voice from the backround which sounds cool and seems clever to me seeing as it's 'just a FM radio stream!' But sometimes it also says "multichannel"?
Blu-ray: I'm not sure, again "PL2 movie" sounds good? Can't see options for the so many confusing dolby options from this thread? http://www.avforums.com/forums/av-a...06-attempt-explain-high-definition-audio.html
Does it make a difference what Blu-ray it is? What should I be looking for on the back of the Blu-ray box to ensure good surround sound?
Playing from an iPhone into front usb socket? What type of music files offer best surround sound?
I guess I just need to know what applies to my system, don't need to know about 6.1/7.1 set up etc and the thread above just confuses me really bad!
Thanks for any help and advice!
