Ok - I had to hook up the PS3 and give it a run before Xmas. Please don't tell the kids. I didn't play any games but did watch one of my 10-free BD movies from the Walmart Secret Sale a few weeks ago.
I watched Apacolypto and was completely blown away. Incredible movie, incredible PQ, incredible sound. I love my XA-2 but I have to admit, the PS3 kicked some serious butt with this movie. Can't wait to try out some more BD movies.
My question is re: PS3 Audio setup. I did not make any adjustments to my PS3 setup (Video or Audio). My connection is via HDMI (thanks PC5!) from the PS3 to my Yamaha AVR, then HDMI out of the AVR to the Mitsu.
I went with the PCM 5.1 (uncompressed) default setting - and thought it was pretty awesome. I just want to understand what is the very best audio option to select?
E.g. would it be possible for someone who really knows this stuff to breakdown in order of preference what would be the best audio setting to go with (assuming you have an AVR that supports everything)?
Just as an example, would it be:
1) PCM 5.1 Uncompressed,
2) TrueHD
3) Dolby Digital 5.1
4) etc...etc...
I just want to understand what would be the best setting - since all of this stuff is not automagic yet.
Also - any recommendations for preconfiguring the PS3 settings(video & audio) based on my setup profile below is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all of the great insight HD-Forum!
