Dave, In the 563 menu: "Speakers/Audio output mode", what's it set to?

Dave, I think Paul is right and the 2 channel output is downmixed if the signal isn't in stereo to begin with. If I'm not mistaken, there's something about it in the 563's manual (which I haven't read in a long time).

You might get better sound at 192 if you turn off digital output in the 563's menu. You might also want to set it to stereo, not sure.

This goes back to the 70's and 80's, but all the 3 piece (satellite/sub) speakers I've owned or used strongly suggested putting the sw between the speakers for the best balance. It doesn't have to be centered, just between them. Many of these run the bookshelf speakers as full range, 2-way...

Bob, the crossover frequency should be set according to your speakers' specs. If yours are down 3db at 45hz, I would think that you'd want 60hz max. for a crossover. Of course, this assumes that you're getting decent sound from your main speakers. For your rear speakers, 80hz would probably be...

I wasn't going to respond to any more remarks in this thread (since most questions are answered in the review ), but I'll try one more. I've only got a minute to write this, so if it sounds curt, it's not meant to :-) DVD (Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS), CD and MP3 cross over at 100 Hz and SACD...

I can't answer the questions about the Wega. Maybe someone who has one can help. If you haven't got 60 to 100 hours on the 563 yet, just make the color adjustments you like, maybe increase the sharpness (the 563 goes from blur to normal to 'added junk', not like most that go from normal to...

I was about to say that Bob may have started celibrating New Year's Day a little early, when I thought I remembered seeing other posts about the 563 and Wega. A search for these 2 words on here and other forums may show something. Anyway, Bob, it's usually the white control (contrast) that...

Scott, You might find out more information HERE

Bob U, If you've never set up your Wega with Avia or VE, you might be surprised what a difference it can make. You have to set it up with each DVD player you use. The 563 is a little fussy. The picture can look very good, but you have to set it up. I realize that you didn't have problems...

The FBI warnings may jitter on some DVDs. I noticed it some on my 563 then played my JVC and they did the same thing. I just never noticed before. It may be better or worse on some TVs, depending on I/O voltage matches, etc, I would imagine. The skewed lines sound like too much white level is...

Ted, try THIS link.

I hadn't noticed this on my 563, so I just played a few DVD-A's. I had my ear right up to the player and didn't get any noise between tracks. It's probably one of those things where some of them do it and others don't. Maybe your's will stop when it gets a few more hours on it. Most DVD-A's...

OK, here's a simple answer. DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital. It was originally a way that Sony and Philips came up with to archive music in hi quality. The idea was to find a way to save and store music in a lossless, or near lossless format. This music could then be converted from DSD to...

David, You're in luck! With all channels on the ICBM set to "bypass" and the recombine switch set ON, LFE is sent to the 2 front speakers. It's not covered in the manual, but on my 2nd attempt to contact Outlaw Audio (their 1st response didn't answer the question) they confirmed it with a...

?

David, you're in a better position than most for bass management. If you set all your speakers to Large with a SW, you don't have to worry about the 200Hz crossover in DVD-A. You'll get full range to all speakers and LFE to the SW. Although a BM system would be nice, technically you shouldn't...

I should clarify this a bit more. With the SW ON and all speakers set to Large, the crossovers are not active and all signals pass through their channels, and only their channels. Nothing is redirected. I'm sure of this up to this point. The next question is, does this constitute BM = OFF in...

First, when listening to DVD-V (Norah Jones, for example), CDs or MP3s, use the digital outputs on the 563 and digital inputs on your HK 525. You will then be using the bass management in your 525. Your 525 will redirect LFE to your main speakers if the SW is not present. Besides, the DACs in...

I haven't been in this forum before. Interesting thread. I think there are only 2 reasons to listen to stereo music in a surround mode. One would be if you work for Dolby and the other is if your speakers aren't set up properly. Like some others here, I can fool just about anyone into thinking...

Oddly enough, I haven't seen any bad reviews of the PDR-04 or the PDR-05. I have seen some on the PDS-06, but they changed the DAC on that model. I suppose you could find mixed reviews on anything, though. The platter was used on several other CD recorders. The most notable is probably the...

Cameron, The reason most people aren't getting digital output from the 563 on hi-rez PCM is because they forget to set it to 2 channel (menu: initial settings/speakers/audio output mode/2 channel). There's probably only a couple reasons why anyone would want to do this (since it converts 192...

Yes, the 563 plays 96/24 Linear PCM through it's analog and digital outputs. It does not down-convert the signal. The 563 osd shows "Linear PCM 94kHz24Bits Stereo" and my HK AVR320 shows "PCM", "96", and "Stereo". It sounds very nice, too. The 192/24 titles I have are down-converted to...

I've been giving their marketing strategy some thought and finally came up with one possibility. The HTIB market is big. Manufacturers are jumping on it like Opra on a baked ham. Pioneer may have thought that the college students with new HTIB systems and young people at home with existing HTIB...

OK. First, for those beginners who may be reading this, there are 2 types of bass signals that may be directed to your main speakers and your sub-woofer. The first is Deep Bass which is normally present in music, and the second is LFE (Low Frequency Effects). This is the .1 channel in a 5.1...
