I have a Technics SH-AC500D digital surround processor I bought three or four years ago and have been very pleased with its peformance, except for one thing. The unit "auto-detects" source material (DD,DTS, etc), which results in a one-second or so delay when the processor kicks in. Normally, this is not an issue with DVDs since they usually start with an FBI warning screen or some such. But, since I have begun gaming in 5.1 surround sound (PS2 & Xbox), this delay is driving me batty... especially on the PS2 when it switches from DD to ProLogic in some games.
So, my question is this. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this auto-detect function or shut it off? Since the remote allows you to manually select various inputs, I'm wondering if there is a way to do this.
Aside from this one nagging issue, the SH-AC500D has performed like a champ, so I really have no other reason to replace it. Any help with this is very much appreciated!
