Still playing around with it. Watched the pod racing scene in SW-Phantom Menace, love the smoothness of the engine sounds as they pan across the screen and when that Tuscan Raider fires that shot and it echoes through the canyon, no regrets.

Does anyone else notice or know why when the receiver is put into Direct mode the bass is punchy and irritating but in Dolby Digital + or THX cinema or Neural the bass is smooth? just wondering if I'm missing something.
