It will amaze you on how many tricks it has when you start fooling around with it. Maybe you guy should try to give that a shot an see what happens.Use the Dobly Mod, then select Theater 2 under DTS I believe and hook up the AC3 cable from the DVD to the Receiver. Pioneer vsx d606s remote control. I like how it has a sub-pre & AC-3100X5 is more than enough for me and I dont even have to use the loudness button.Sound Quality is Crisp and bass is hard and clear!The Remote and Manual are complicated but it take getting used to.I know what some of you guys mean about the hissing sound when watching a movie!! Its pretty bad, I had the same problem with my older Pioneer also.Then I tried using the AC3 input and its much much better. Got this receiver from a friend and its was a huge diff compared to my older Pioneer.It has all the options you need for a full surround sound system.
