LFE sounds anemic with high res codecs in Bluray but fine with DD or DTS
I have my Panasonic BD10A Bluray player connected to my Yamaha RXV1400 receiver using the multichannel in/out. The bluray player obviously does the decoding of the high res codecs. When I listen to a bluray movie the sound is very clear and there is a definite improvement over the normal Dolby Digital or DTS however the bass doesn't have the same punch. I can switch from getting the sound via multichannel in to using the optical in and let the receiver just decode the normal Dolby Digital or DTS signal. Using the receiver to decode and do all of the bass management results in a much more powerful and cleaner LFE. I am not sure what is going on.
Can there be just too many adjustments being made by two different machines that cause problems? Maybe both the bluray player and my receiver are doing bass management and that is causing an issue.
