Does your onkyo have a set of 5.1 analog inputs? If it does, you can decode in the player itself. If not, get rid it and get something new.
upgrading Onkyo 919 reciever to 5.1 and better
I have a Onkyo THX 919 PRO RECIEVER but it is only pro logic (4- channel)I run a set of Definitive BP 2000's for the mains and a set of Bose 901's for the rears.my problem is that when i run in by-pass(stereo)it sounds live, when i operate in any surround mode it sound like poop.I run the eq,that came with the 901's and a 10 band graphic through the tape loop.Is the fact that running equlizers in a processed mode distorting the sound? I have a cheap dvd player,a decent hi-fy vhs but any input being used in the bypass mode with equalization sounds so much superior.I have read that onkyo makes a decent surround processor(ed901).can anyone help me? I thought about upgrading to a Onkyo,denon,or yamaha reciver even replacing the rear surrounds with matching definitive's but for now at least getting a true 5.1 surround to sound like the stereo mode with equalization!is what i am looking for.
