1. THX Select 2 is the same as THX Select but with an improved gaming mode AFAIK.
2. WMA decoding means the receiver will actually do the decoding (and could be better than having your dvd player do it). So you won't need this if you have your dvd player playing the wma files.
3. With the 1014, you can have 2 sets of speakers (5.1 and 2) in 2 rooms playing the SAME source (can't have different sources). It should work the same with the 1015.
4. It is the same as the 1014. It will upconvert S or Composite video to Component
| Originally posted by avuser Hi, Great forums on avs! As a result of reading the various discussions here, I have decided to buy either the 1014 or 1015. I have some questions, the answers to which will REALLY help in making a decision on this. Hopefully the gurus here can help... 1. Is THX Select vs. THX select 2 really a big deal or an incremental improvement? Does a THX select 2 receiver fill up a much bigger room with a fuller sound that a THX select receiver (say a approx. 26 x 16 basement)? 2. How important is WMA decoding? If a DVD player plays WMA discs, do I still need a receiver capable of WMA decoding? 3. Does 1015 have multi-room capability - that is, can it drive two sets of speakers in two different rooms at the same time (I don't think the 1014 can) 4. What is "Component Video Upswitching" advertised for the 1015 - is it the same feature as available on the 1014 which upconverts S or Composite video to Component? Thanks to all who can respond! |
