Gary,

This maybe a dumb question but what's driving the 861?

My 598 always seemed low on lfe when decoding Dolby Digital and OK on DTS. I didn't know if this was caused by its decoding or the encoding on the disc - although some experiments with video essentials seemed to indicate it was the player. My 800 is much better in this respect with both DD and DTS giving similar levels.

regards

Chris
