ONKYO TX-NR905

Hi all!

Got a question for 905 owners. I was going through the setup menu when I came across the PICTURE QUALITY options. Here is how to get in the setup menu that I am talking about:

- INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGN

- 6. PICTURE QUALITY

Once you get to the PICTURE QUALITY sub menu, there are 5 options to make changes. Below are the 5 options:

- PICTURE MODE: AUTO, VIDEO, FILM

- EDGE ENHANCEMENT: OFF / HIGH

- MOSQUITO NR: OFF / HIGH

- RANDOM NR: OFF / HIGH

- BLOCK NR: ON / OFF

I would like to know what is the best setting because I got my blu-ray player hooked up to this receiver via HDMI. Right now, I have the PICTURE MODE to AUTO selection. Everything else below that is all on OFF selection. I am not sure if I want to mess around with those options. I figured I should let the blu-ray player do all the work and leave the settings on the 905 alone. Too much settings on the receiver and the blu-ray player can make the picture quality worse.

But I would like to know your opinion on these settings. I just wanted to get the best picture quality when watching blu-ray movies and regular DVD movies. Right now, watching regular DVD movies looks terrible! It's all grainy and fuzzy.

Thanks for any advice!!!!!

I have another question about the 905. I was playing around the AUDIO ADJUST settings and I came across the LFE LEVEL settings. Within the LFE LEVEL settings, there are 6 settings:

-------------------------------------------

DOLBY DIGITAL 0db

DTS 0db

MULTICH PCM 0db

DOLBY TrueHD 0db

DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO 0db

DSD 0db

--------------------------------------------

Currently all the levels are at 0db as a default settings. Do I need to adjust all those 6 settings to higher levels? Should I bump up the db levels up to like 5db or the highest levels so it will sound better?

Is there a way to make the PURE AUDIO button to stay light up in blue color all the time while in use?

The PURE AUDIO button I am talking about is right below the STANDBY/ON power button. The PURE AUDIO button will only turn on blue color when I am listening pure 2 channel music. Everything else I listen to, the blue light around the PURE AUDIO turns off. I really like the blue light around the PURE AUDIO button to stay on all the time if it is possible.

I have the receiver Onkyo TX-NR905 and I have a question regarding the Nominal Impedance. My speakers are the Atlantic Technology System 350 THX and rated at 4ohm. In the receiver speaker setting, do I set it to 4ohm, 6ohm or 8ohm? Those are the 3 choices that I see in the TX-NR905.

If I set the receiver to 8ohm, will it sound better, clearer and louder? If I set it to 8ohm, will my speakers get damage?

Thanks for any advice!

4 ohm speakers = 4 ohm setting.
