    ahhhh...OK....so not test tones from a DVD-A or SACD disc?

    I don't think it is the player playing -15dB LFE, I think it is the lack of bass management. Have you compared the bass when speakers are set to small compared to large?

    Yes, it's the same. I've also seen on other forums where people have said the same thing about the bass being -15.

    OK.

    You might want to think about doing what Quinn did....got a 563a from eBay for $50.

    Curtis,

    ya missed my question earlier in this thread, so I'll ask it again[]

    Do you know what the country codes are for regarding the 563a? The manual has a long list of them and allows you to change the setting...is this to allow playing of different region DVDs?

    Thanks!

    I'm looking at the Pioneer 563a manual page 74 and it says, "Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel."

    Unless you bought a region free DVD player I'm betting it is region 1.

    Comp USA still had a 563 when I was in there last week. Of course, they wanted more than $50 for it. I'm just gonna wait and see what happens with releases and maybe add an ICBM some day.

    Then what the heck do the country codes change? The language on the menus? Can't be, there is a language option in the setup menu. The manual is very vague concerning it's function. I don't want to change something I cannot change back!
