Does the 626 have a feature that will artificially convert 2 ch audio to a faux surround sound format? I have some downloaded movies in 1080i but the audio is only 2 channel.

Yes, it supports Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS Neo:6 to expand stereo sources to 5.1 or 7.1 surround output. You can select from Dolby PLIIx Movie, Dolby PLIIx Music, Dolby PLIIx Game, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or DTS Neo:6 Music as the listening mode. If you don't have surround back speakers, the receiver automatically selects Dolby Pro Logic II for 5.1 surround when selecting a Dolby Pro Logic IIX listening mode.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

I haven't had any problem with 1080i or 1080p getting from my blue ray or HD receiver. And split the digital audio to my surround receiver without a hitch.

If you are watching HD, the audio would be 5.1 surround sound. If you are just distributing the front left and right channels, that's all that would be in those channels-- background music, sound effects...etc. The main voices would be in your center channel. You would need to switch your amp to not be surround sound when distributing, but rather just be stereo (l&r;). Or, try changing to the SD channel broadcast. Those are usually not in surround sound.

I have no idea. I use it for movies I rent from Amazon and Netflix. If I use it for directv I get double audio, so I dont use it for that.

Yes,just plug it into Mic/Ext In.it distorted because you didn't set the format high enough. I set it at 128k in the beginning,it distorted bad.after i set it to 256k it sound very good.

John - you have been incredibly helpful and i appreciate your knowledge. My receiver does support all of the lossless sound formats regarding DTS HD masterauduio and tolby True HD. I am thinking that the PS3 does as well. In your opinion, what are the best looking Blu rays that you have personally seen or own regarding visuals and effects? Thanks Again!

There is external speaker on the back of the device (Mono, Not stereo). There is also mic on the top left corner. But I did not used it. As for High Definition video, it looks good but not 720p (I heard this device supports 1024x600). I used it as TV or movie player with using mini HDMI cable. It is not excellent like blurays. But it is good to watch on my LED TV.

Here's a possibility: USB Multi-Channel Sound Converter With 5.1 7.1 Surround I haven't tried it yet but there are many positive comments

You have a choice of4to 6 picture settings. You should find the right one. The sound is more than average. We have had no quams and nothing but positive results from this set!!

hi, i got a hd66 if you don't have the 3d-xl the films in 3d is working with a bluray 3d player or not, thanks

I had the same problem but solution was to by a new 3d blue ray Player (Panasonic) with 2 hdmi OUT. assign 1 for TV out the other for audio out only (this connects to your 876) and you're ready to watch 3d with full audio advantage. no need to upgrade AV-receiver since the 876 sounds amazing.

I had this problem. The solution: Make sure you have an HDMI or Optical cable connected directly to the soundbar from source (My AT&T Uverse box). Make sure to set the audio settings in your source to output "surround". Most cable boxes come pre-programmed to output "stereo". You will hear the difference immediately...and it kicks A**!

That same thing bugs me too during games so I switch the listening mode settings to "All Ch Stereo." I like the way it sounds a lot better. They're not filming the games in surround sound so it sounds better in stereo.

Apparently they have upgraded to what they call "near HD"... 1280x540. I would like to know if anyone has actually seen this on a decent size 1080p screen, and how it looks. Also, can it pass 5.1 sound?

Yes, 1 HDMI & 1 optical, I looked. Internet content like Netflix & Sony rentals will play in Surround Sound, if the program was recorded in surround sound. It still plays otherwise, but you don't hear the speaker effects and not as loud.
