Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me solve a problem. My system consists of an Denon AVR-5700, B&W CDM-x speakers, B&W ASW-2000 sub. I originally had the system installed in an apartment in Boston and it sounded great with all sources including stereo cd's.
I have since moved to NC and set the system up the same way. It sounds fantastic with DD, DTS, and 5.1 stereo processing. However, when I select "Stereo", my cd's sound lifeless and muffled. (I should make a note that all disc playback is from a Sony DVP-530S dvd player.) To be even more descriptive, it sounds like most of the high frequencies have been cut off.
I don't understand what I have done wrong. I have a very inexpensive travel system based on Onkyo's incredible 494 receiver. This system plays great on all audio processing including stereo music. (I mention this only to point out that I am not so used to 5.1 sources that stereo just doesn't cut it anymore.)
Does anyone have an idea of which setup item I failed to correctly set? What is the proper down-convert setting on my DVD player? Should I be selecting PCM instead of stereo? Any help is greatly appreciated.
