I have a Sony 370 - exactly same settings / set-up.

As long as Dolby True HD / Master HD shows up you are all good to go.

The only setting I would change would be to turn off Audio DRC.

In Sony land AUTO just means ON.

STOP!!!!

It's Dynamic Range Compression, makes the difference between the quiet bits and the loud bits less, which is great for late night low volume listening but for normal listening you don't really need it.

No problem and hey dont get embarrassed - its just What Hi Fi's "sleek" interface on replying to posts.

You think nothing is happening, get confused and hit save again.

It happens to us all - hey at least your a keen poster, welcome on board Smile

Dont worry about The_Lhc - he can be quite amusing at times. ;)
