It's connected via HDMI. Like I said, true Dolby 5.1 sources work fine, but all I want is to get stereo to "simulated" 5.1 I'm watching YouTube through my PS3 right now (which I believe is a stereo source as well) and I hit the "ALC/Standard" button, and BAM, does exactly what I'm looking...

Can you elaborate? I also tried the "Signal Sel" button (#3 button on the lower part of the remote), and it cycles through three different Dolby modes, but nothing plays while in the Dolby mode.

Hey all, so a question here. Been pulling my hair out over the past few days trying to solve this dilemma. I have my laptop (Windows 7, 64-bit) hooked up to the VSX-1022 through HDMI to pass through surround sound. I have tested it with these videos...

I get all of mine from Five Below. $5, no issues and well made. Can't complain.

Thanks for the info Sam. Can you link me to some info on the X700 etc? And I'm not too worried about composite video. Basically all of my content (Netflix and Blu Ray) is viewed through my PS3. Primarily looking for the sound quality, ability to push my Jamo S426's that should be here Friday...

Hey all, newbie here. Been lurking around for the past few days, and decided to join in. So I have a four year old H/K AVR 154 that I'm looking to possibly upgrade. The 30w per channel power output is on the low side obviously, and the lack of HDMI audio is getting old. I would also like...
