Re: 5.1-Channel/multi-Channel output


Quote:
This means no bass/treble controls and no auto eq such as Audyssey, EZSet-EQ, YAPO and MCACC.
And more important, IMO anyway, is the fact that the receiver's bass management & distance compensation systems are also bypassed. Us people who adopted multichannel dvd-a/sacd back when they first debuted are all too familiar with that issue.

And while distance compensation seems to take a back seat to b.m., not having each speaker's output reach your ears at the same time can really disturb the surround soundfield, preventing it from becoming a seemless "bubble" of sound, something that is needed to help create the suspension-of-disbelief mental state.
