My question is this. When configuring sound prefrences in my OPPO I needed to make sure I set all my speakers to LARGE as per the user manual(When using HDMI and AVR). I wanted to know if I need to do the same for the Panasonic. I have calibrated my speakers through my Denon Audsseyss setup and do not want anything to mess with the intergraty of the calibration.
I will be bitstreaming HD audio so the reciever will be handling all the de coding. I am just not sure if the panasonic uses any of the sound settings information over HDMI like my OPPO did.
You will not have to mess with any speaker settings in the Panasonic whether you bitstream or send multichannel PCM, the Denon should handle all the bass management and time alignment.

'"In a strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came,
And you had a
Chance to see through me
Though the other side is just the same
You can tell my dream is real
Because I love you, can you see me now."
