How do you have it say DTS HD on the LED screen? it does not show up on mine is it because i have an old HD cable box and old Blu Ray Player or is it in the settings somewhere

Your cable box will only provide up to 5.1 dolby digital output depending on the type of connection (either optical or HDMI), if you are using an analog L-R connection you will only get stereo. Depending on the age of your blu-ray player it may or may not pass DTS-HD Master Audio over HDMI. You will need to read the owners manual of your blu-ray player to see if it will pass DTS HD, if so you will need to set the audio settings in the player to send it to the receiver to decode. If your blu-ray player will not pass DTS-HD over HDMI but will decode DTS-HD Master Audio internally you can set the player to output PCM via HDMI, in that case it will only show up on the display of the receiver as PCM but will in fact be DTS HD.

Chris , awesome u got an 1222K. Its a great AVR. Go to a thred just on our receiver? Its called avr 1222k . Go to this? U can have any question answered to our AVR. ...But the answer to ur question is only comes on when ur playing something thats picking up one of the signals including ur DTs-HD.. So as long as ur playing something thats sending one of the Dolby signal.... Good luck Chris.

It does not come standars on the HD DI model. They do have one with side imaging so you have to make sure that it specifies that it is there. Most likely the model you are inquiring about is just the high definition model and possibly not even has the down imaging either. It is the base unit. Hope it helps.

When you go into the manual set up mode the first thing you see is either ST or DT in the day portion of the display. Use the up arrow or the down arrow to set it for DST or not. This does not appear to be in the instructions, but mine works this way.

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

This one has HDMI 1.3 instead of 1.2, and supports DTS 5.1. The older one you have doesn't natively decode DTS. It's only passthru. Those are the major differences I know about.

I am having the same problem. I purchased a 40" LCD LED HD Samsung 120Hz 1080p and when I turn my TV on it shows 60Hz 1080i. And I still don't understand what is wrong. How can I fix it.

Hey there. This system does not decode Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD, or Dolby TrueHD from your HDMI cable, true. However, in order to make a great system that was affordable, they included the 7.1 analog-audio inputs for future HD players that have onboard decoding. If you really want true 7.1 from your HD movie with this system, check out the Panasonic DMP-BD55. And as always, if you wait a little longer, the price on these players will drop to something more palatable.

but the old model, the one that I have, does support DTS, I've played a MKV file with DTS, and connected via optical audio toslink to my Home Theater, the Home Theater displays DTS

Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself. I switched the tv back to analog and turned on the DR560. The channels came in the same as my dtv or converter box I use on another tv. I would think it has to do with the Input as someone already answered. I am hooked up with the RCA jacks from the dvd to tv. You might want to try the RF Modulator if you don't have the jacks. That's one reason I purchased a new TV. Also, someone wrote about the clock being an issue after Feb. 17th. I checked the manual and it does allow you to manually set the clock, so hopefully this will not be an issue. Hope this helps. Good Luck Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself.

Thanks you two for responding. Well, I bought a DTV, so my problem is solved. I guess I'm an old timer, 51 yrs. I used to think I was handy with all this when I dubbed some VHS tapes or loaded programs into a computer, or had my own FTP space to put pictures on eBay. But OH MY GOD!!! You've got to be kidding!?? I know younger folk will have a better handle on it all, but just looking at these manuals,... who do they think they're talking to? 'Nuff said

John - you have been incredibly helpful and i appreciate your knowledge. My receiver does support all of the lossless sound formats regarding DTS HD masterauduio and tolby True HD. I am thinking that the PS3 does as well. In your opinion, what are the best looking Blu rays that you have personally seen or own regarding visuals and effects? Thanks Again!

Thanks for the feedback. I bought this model. Love it so far. Beautiful picture on HD cable and no TOC problems...yet. Will follow up if I have any.

I'd also like to know what settings other people are using. I have my PS3 hooked up to this monitor and blu-rays look terrible on it. My PS3 is set to 1080p output and still the blu-rays look extremely grainy and there's streaks in dark areas. I have no clue what to do. I took back another ASUS model because of this issue. I was hoping this one would be different, but it's not. Please, someone post your settings.

Hi Dawn, Thanks for the question. While this unit has great sound quality from using an optical or digital coax cable, it does not subscribe to Dolby or DTS. These formats are for surround sound and this is not a surround sound system. Most Sound bars if not all are not surround sound as you would need rear speakers to utilize this feature. I own this unit and play blue ray movies and cable through it with very high quality. This unit delivers high performance in stereo and with other feature that one will find on sound bars at 2-3 times the cost. Hope this helps. Please contact AV-Express with more questions.

When you are getting TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, are any lights supposed to come on the receiver to signify that the stream is being picked up, or should you just assume its working if it is set to Linear PCM?

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

I have last years model (605) and wondered the same thing. if you're looking for your TrueHD to light up on your receiver - it wont. Your PS3 won't send TrueHD via bitstream (to be converted by your receiver), so you won't see the light. The PS3 offers only internal decoding of this and DTS-HD, which means you'll need to send an already decoded signal (via PCM, NOT bitstream) to your receiver and run your receiver on "Direct" to play it. You'll get TrueHD sound/signal, but your receiver won't ever light up "TrueHD". You can run the "display" setting on your PS3 though which will show your outputing the TrueHD signal to your receiver. The light won't "light" up though. Info on this can be found on the net, or in your PS3 manual. Hope it helps.
