Having problems with my Sub on 5.1 Tracks (Sony STR-DG720 Receiver)
So I have my surround system hooked up to my PS3 via HDMI. I decreased the volume on the Sub to the maximum of 10 but it is still really tame when I'm litenng to 5.1 tracks. This morning I put in Ac/Dc Live At Donington on Blu-Ray after reading a review stating that the bass kicks ass on the True PCM 5.1 track. Well it didn't kick my ass. Instead in sound like a baby cub compared to the bass of the PCM stereo track. This is not the first time that I have noticed considerably less bass in the true audio track compared to the Stero mixes. What do I need to do to optimize this system and get the right bass as well as the best sound? I know that this is not the greatest receiver in the world but it is all I am able to invest right now in a receiver. Sorry for being new to this and thanks for the help.
One other problem:
I also have my Toshiba HD-A30 player running into the receiver with a second HDMI cable and it doesn't appear to want to play any of the 5.1 one tracks without me having to change a setting on the receiver. It starts off by playing a 5.1 track as a 2.1 stereo track. Why is this? I have set all of the settings in the Player menu so that it send the audio out properly but nothing seems to work. Once again thanks for the help.

I have a 720 and the bass is great. TrueHD, DTS-MA, and Uncompressed PCM are simply amazing. They all blow away DD and standard DTS.
