Excellent stuff - thanks a lot.

Now I realise that the amp is only really just powering the fiver speakers and not really needed for any decoding, I probably spent more time than necessary in picking it.

I also realise what you mean now, Homey, in your comments above in relation to HD audio - i.e. my particular amp does not decode this but if I am decoding on the HTPC itself, it is irrelevant.

I shall have a mess around tonight with the various settings and shall report back here if I have any problems.

I have also been reading a bit more on audio/video generally and realise that my terminology in my last post is a bit strange. Rather than saying this:

It was more accurate to have asked whether Mediaportal can upmix stereo to 5.1 with Dolby Pro Logic II - I am learning bit by bit.

Many thanks

Alex
