Straight will give you unadulterated 5.1 in the movie audio stream however multiple reviews of these recievers prefer using drama or standard profile when using the yamaha DSP.
Agreed and understood. Standard profile is better in my opinion.
Surround decode should only be used when up covering 2 channel audio to 5.1 using dolby pro logic II movie.
Yes it says so in the manual too. If you want to convert 2ch to 7.1 use surround decode. But since all my movies (so far) are in 5.1 or 7.1 I guess Straight or Sur Decode will hardly make any difference in playback except for probably Sur decode will ad some more logic to distribute sound.
Correct me if I am wrong.
