That's strange...your Sony has no Noise Reduction feature? What model TV do you have?

As for the bottom part of your statement...that's what this whole thread was supposed to be about -- Noise Reduction on Blu ray players!

Well, specifically, Panasonic's players when running Blu ray playback...

On YOUR Blu ray player, does it allow for DNR during BD playback as well as DVD playback? Does it actually WORK for BD playback?

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

my tv is a samsung.
I believe that both my players can do the DRN. I never use them.

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

Oh, that's right -- you have a Samsung TV...my apologies...for some reason I thought you had a Sony too!

Did you ever try turning the DNR ON for Blu rays...did it make a difference at all with "taking out noise"?

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

with my ps3.. when I play a standard dvd, the options for the DNR is there.. but when I play a bluray title.. its not there. I think it works on the standard dvd only.

Interesting; thanks for the info. It must only apply to DVD playback exclusively.

BTW do you have any further info on that Onkyo 605 "popping problem" with DTS Master Audio tracks bitstreamed? I know they had a thread about it over at AVS, but do you know if the issue ever got "resolved"? Was this with EVERY 605 ever produced? I'm getting ready to buy a new BD player soon which bitstreams Master Audio and TrueHD and don't want that "gunshot" sound to blow out my speakers!

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

it was resolved months ago. there is a firmware update that you can do. you need a dvd player/cd player to do it.. there is a link at onkyo for it.
it took me a few times to try it before I got it working.. it will erase all your settings so you will have to redo the audessy test.

Thanks. Actually, I calibrated the system based on my own values and calibration because Audyssey wasn't "getting it right" in terms of a lot of things -- speaker type, speaker size, etc. So I overrode it and adjusted my own parameters; but that really sucks about needing to redo the configuration again. Is the only way to know if you have the "defective" receivers to play a bitstreamed Master Audio track and see if it "pops"? Does this happen with every MA encoded title?

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

only on certain titles. I heard it on the 1986 remake of the fly bluray disc about 11-15 minutes into the movie when goldblum visits geena at the office. right after the editor leaves the room. what setting do you have your receiver set? I played around with it myself.. my brother who is an expert on the home theatre stuff said to leave everything alone. to use the setting that the audessy test did.. if you mess with the stuff.. then the cut off is cut off you need that.

Yeah, I heard about this title and the problem...I don't own it...does it happen with Fantastic 4 also? That's what I read...

what setting do you have your receiver set?

What do you mean?

I don't follow you here...

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

the setting in the audio.. the level for each speaker.. are they set to 0 or other stuff? what is the setting of the volume that you use when you are playing stuff ?mine is around 55 or so.

the subwoofer bass.. if you mess with the differnt things.. it changes the bass and cuts it off.. you dont want to cut that off.
when you test the subwoofer.. does it make a noise during the test and then stop and then continue to its noisy throughout the test.

Okay, this gets a bit tricky and in depth so follow me here...

The front left and right channels are set to "+6"...the center is a bit higher at "+8"...the right surround is at "+6" like the fronts and the left surround is at "+3" because that speaker is right by my ear in the sweet spot. The sub is at "+6" and sometimes I go between "+5" and "+6" depending on if certain material "bottoms out" on this sub because it's too high. I am also running the IntelliVolume system at "+10dB" on my DVD input, letting it act as like a power amp's sensitivity control so input signal at the DVD input sounds louder and more forceful at a lower volume level -- usually, I don't turn it up past "50"...

the subwoofer bass.. if you mess with the differnt things.. it changes the bass and cuts it off.. you dont want to cut that off.
when you test the subwoofer.. does it make a noise during the test and then stop and then continue to its noisy throughout the test.

No...this doesn't happen with the sub...just, like I said, some discs cause the bass output to "bottom out" and create that "bass fart" sound so I reduce the dBs in the sub's calibration menu...

Re: "DNR" Feature on Panasonic Players...

I had the same problem with those setting.. I tried it out.. it does sound nice.. but then I would have problems.. not sure how to describe it.. so I went with the setting of the audssey which was +2 on center. and few others.. and left everything else alone.. the intell volume. I had it set very high.. but it was wrong to set it that way.. it needs to be at 0. the volume thing is very weird. you are going backwards for the volume.. so 55-60 is a good place to be. I messed around with it for a while.. until my brother who did home theatre stuff for a while.. told me to keep the settings off and so I did.. and it sounds much better. if you are happy with your settings then go with it.

Like what kind of "problems"?

Why is it wrong to set it this way? I know that I'm not using the IntelliVolume the way it was designed -- that is, to balance all the inputs so they sound the same at a given volume level and you can switch between them -- but I don't do any switching in this receiver. 99.9 percent of my listening comes from the DVD input and sometimes I use the CD input -- and that's all. So I don't need to "balance" my inputs' volumes, follow? I figured I would just use the IntelliVolume as I said, like a power amp's sensitivity control, which kind of jacks up the gain stage for the given input -- I like the way it sounds like that anyway, so the amp doesn't need so much "revving up" to achieve a good, loud, punchy volume. I realize that I rob overall maximum volume doing this, but I don't mind.

What do you mean we're going "backwards" for the volume? Doesn't this only apply to THX certified receivers that have the "dB" scale for volume, with "0" being the "sweet spot" on the leveling? My 605 has no such dB scale...it only goes zero to 99...

What settings off?

I think you lost me again...
