I LIKE my Sharp Blu player, hated replacing it.
But today I reset the microprocessor, and its working fine(hate to do that).
But the default is LPCM, and I Like the receiver doing the decoding of audio codecs.
Well, I finally got that switched back around, and the little light came on my reciever.
And the sound! A lot better with the receiver doing the decoding chores.
TURNS out that LPCM goes straight through my receiver with no chaser, and no
AUDYSSEY.
And what a difference Audyssey makes. Some like treating a room, I never have.
well, with AUDYSSEY you don't have to, really, just set the little plastic mike and let this program do its little dance. The difference in sound is nothing short of spectacular,
as I have recently been reminded. LETS just make it a legal requirement that it is put on
every receiver costing more than fifty bucks. OKAY?
Once a skeptic, now a fanatic. You can play around with panels and wall treatments
all you want. BUT that just became unnecessary. And I have a new item on my list
of "must have" features when buying a processor.
