About a month ago I had my new panasonic plasma tv hooked up to my old bose cinemate. I decided to upgrade with a small budget and first got a yamaha rx-v465 receiver. I hooked it up to my ps3 and set it on pcm sound. (Is this the best choice, I've looked up alot of threads and dont fully understand) Next I bought a Yamaha 5.1 speaker setup, heres a link -

I guess I cant post a link since Im new, its on amazon and called
Yamaha NS-SP7800PN 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker Package (Piano Black)

I got it on clearance at B.B. for $200. The center speaker wasnt great so today I picked up the Definitive pro center 1000 speaker.

Everything sounds great but when I try the YPAO setup and it said that my polarity was wrong for the speaker setup. I checked and everything is correct, and the manual says that sometimes the receiver will say that even when everything is correct. Anyone have any experience with this? When I play a dolby true hd blu ray movie, nothing on my reciever lights up to tell me its excepting the signal. But Im pretty new at this maybe the receiver isnt supposed to. Any tips would be great.
Maybe later I can post pictures, I got a new computer with an optical out hooked up to the receiver.

Many tips on the auto EQ stuff. Look in the posts for Denon's system. A lot of " ignore the errors and go on". If it sounds good, don't worry about a stupid computer. It is only as good as the programmer.

What thread is that? I would love to read all I can about it.
Thanks for the reply.

Look in the AMPs, Receivers, Processors forum, under Audio.

Under Audessey or however they spell it. There are some on the Yamahammer system too. Search on it's trade name.

Yes that is the best choice since the Playstation will never send Dolby True HD or DtS master bitstream data for a receiver to decode. You will still hear it though, because when it is set to PCM, the playstation itself is doing the decoding and then sending the multichannel sound down the HDMI pipeline for the Yamaha only just to amplify it and play on your speakers. That is why the receiver does not tell you the type of format, it should say something like PCM or MPCM or LPCM indicating you are still getting the multichannel surround sound. Pulling up info during movie playback on the PS3 will actually reveal what surround decoding mode the game console is using.
