The Realiser is nothing for five years olds. You should still use your own brain a little bit... Compare to mass produced AVRs, they are also very complicated, a five year old will never understand this, even grown ups don't always understand what's going on.
The Smyths have more important things to attend to, namely the issues!
Yesterday my Realiser went totally silent. The input audio meters showed that there was audio input, but the output meters for the headphones didn't show any audio output. I had absolutely no idea what was the cause.
The day before I configured 10 presets, maybe it got confused or what.
I made the "Restore Factory Setup" (erases presets, user names, system settings and so on but leaves files in the internal storage) and that helped. Had to rebuild the presets though. Not all 10 of them, just 5.
I wanted to make the following presets (for Atmos and PCM): 9.1.6, 7.1, Fake 6.1 in a 7.1 "container", 5.1 and 4.0. Every preset with and without the upmixer. I nearly went crazy, seems that the upmixer doesn't always show in the speaker map display and when pressing the up button, and/or it got confused. If you have an Atmos stream the upmixer doesn't show, even if it's set up in the preset (because Atmos doesn't upmix, it automatically maps to the number of speakers you have).
What I also didn't understand: When changing a preset it shows the red reload writing in the top line, if you press enter it should reload, and then disappear, but it was still there after reloading and tells me to reload.
By the way the correct 6.1 setup with back center (Cr) only works with PCM, since you can set PCM rooms as you want, for Atmos and DTS X you have to stick to the default layouts in the Realiser and there's no 6.1 layout with a back center. If you take a 7.1 and change the Lb to Cr it ignored it and the Lb will be missing in the Listening room.
My Pana 424 seems to upmix 5.1 DTS already to 7.1 when it converts it to PCM for the Realiser. Have to dive into the menu to see if there's a setting for this.
