Ok, just got my 5.1 system up and running thanks to some help from people on here. Just 1 more may I please.

Now time to test. Looking for a DVD rental that will use 5.1 to its full capabilities. Any suggestions out there for a rental on a 2006 movie that has great sound?

thanks

    An older movie and not really a great one, but The Haunting seems to have bass non stop.

    Any Pixar movie (Finding Nemo, Incredibles, Cars, etc.) have both fantastic surround effects and unbelievable bass. You cannot go wrong with demoing a system with any of those movies.
