Since my AVR is in a different room, I just let it pick whatever codex it wants to use. With Pioneer Elite, this is much easier, since it's a rotating selection with no on screen display. Also, I don't use stereo mode anymore, since it sounds better with the centers I have now. The VP100 didn't cut it, but the VP150/M2 combo works well. VP150/M3 might be better. I'll have to try this some day.

I'm going to do this setup now. I've been busy today and I can rest a bit while I'm going through this. That is IF the cat can be quiet for a bit. smile
