feature - does it convert both dolby and pcm
338916
The unit has one fiber optic line that carries the digital signal to a power converter separator to an audio signal to be read by an amplifier. Thus the signal is then converted to Dolby stereo sound by the way of the amp. I would say that it would not convert to Dolby or com. I hope this helps. Mike

use your remotes menu button to go into the audio setup, choose audio and then in audio settings go to advanced audio. On the digital audio out selection hit the remotes right key and change the setting to either dolby digital or pcm.

Hi Sal, Digital Audio out of the TV supports PMC/Dolby Digital Optical signals only. -Vincent

It will decode Dolby Digital 5.1 and down-mix it to 2.1. It will not decode DTS.

OK, I am still confused. I have an older Technics SA-DX940 with optical inputs and DOlby Digital and DTS. So am I OK with the DMP-BD35?

Thank you very much!As a further clarification, I assume that when you say that I "must configure its outputs for two-channel PCM," you mean that this is a menu-driven change that I can make, each time that I encounter a 'DTS only' bluray. With my current setup, I have no problem with the audio, via an optical cable, from non-DTS blurays on the BD55K. (I have a 5 speaker setup and a subwoofer.)

Yes...It pretty much has Digital in Coaxial and 2 Optical Jacks, component and composite video jacks as well as 4 HDMI inputs for pre-set components including "game". Pretty much everything. Once connected there are numerous 5.1 channel sound settings for Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS and Neo: 6 modes for various components. You may want to look up the HT-S3500 manual at Onkyo to further review.

I was not able to find one for my 2005 LG TV. The maker of the one I tried which didn't work said his company's converter required a TV with PCM- that their converter would not decode dolby. I checked with LG and they say my TV doesn't have PCM. It has AC3. Hence the converter would not work.

I'm just trying to understand this stuff myself but, as I understand it, the optical connection works with Dolby Digital and I guess DTS up to 5.1. The other issue is just for people who need 7.1 (2 more speakers) sound with newer higher resolution sound modes. I just got surround sound in the last year and I am still thrilled with Dolby Digital 5.1. I'm not about to buy whole new receiver and speakers plus more expensive BR player to upgrade a sound system I love. Heck I don't even think I could fit 2 more speakers into my TV room.

It should. Mine worked with everything I put through it, including dolby digital 5.1, dts 5.1, and pcm 2.0. Note that the input is the optical, output is coax. I think a lot of people complaining it didn't work are trying to use it backwards.

Yes, can handle all PCM/LPCM formats, automatically adjusts output based on recognition of input signal.

i dont own this receiver yet just ordered it but i can go ahead and answer your questions since i own the older model of this baby and only upgrading since i plan on getting a 3dtv sometime soon i hope. 1. yes it will encode all the past formats and since it includes decoders for dolby true-hd and dts-hma you are good there 2. in the audio options of every bluray it will give you option for the loseless audio codecs and the older lossy formats like dd+ and dts.

If you want your 606 to show DVD: Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD-Mstr on its front panel, you need to adjust inside Sony s350 BD audio settings to "direct" not multil pcm. In your 606 preset listening mode menu, set the Dolby TrueHD to "dolby TrueHD, and DTS mstr to "DTS mstr" accordingly (this 606 menu has 2 pages, flip up and down till you locate that TrueHD or DTS HDmstr). What ever blu-ray disc you put in the onkyo will display what is picking up, TrueHD or DTS HD mstr...both format are the king of hometheater sounds, you will be hooked, excellent sounds. (Or if you want your 606 to show multi channel pcm, you can have your s350 BD audio settings to pcm not direct and it will decode inside that S350 instead of having 606 decoding, either way they sound amazing, but I would have the 606 do the work, also one TrueHD or Mstr logo is on, try Dolby prologicIIx or DTS neo 6 mode, they put all 8 speakers to rumble like no others!) Have you watched Traitor (truehd), Rambo 2008 (dtsHDmstr), or Sarah Connor Chronicles(DD blu-ray)? Those movies will truly show how great the S350 and 606 are...addictive. :-) PS: you can check my profile to see pic of what 606 screen looks like if the TrueHD is being decoded.

You can use the optical connection but it will limit the audio to 1.5 Mbps. This means you will hear Dolby Digital and DTS in 5.1 and PCM audio only in stereo. With an HDMI receiver, you would be able to bitstream the higher resolution audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and PCM 5.1, etc.There is another way for you to hear the high resolution audio because your receiver has analog 5.1 audio inputs. You will need to buy the Pioneer BD55 as the BD35 doesn't have analog audio outputs. So for another $100 you can hear the high resolution audio on your existing receiver. The BD35 is intended for people who already have an HDMI receiver, and the BD55 is for those who don't. You can use the optical connection but it will limit the audio to 1.5 Mbps.

Yes, it will work, but you will need to configure the audio output to PCM first. The output is stereo.
