My LG TV only has Dolby Digital. I use a Roku 3 player requiring DD Plus for true 5.1 surround sound. Using this Yamaha unit, would I then have it?

You may want to have all of your video/audio inputs go to the Yamaha RX-V477 first rather than to the TV. This will bypass any incompatibly that your TV will have. If your TV has HDMI inputs this will work very well. I don't know what your setup so it is possible that this will not work for you. I had an earlier model Yamaha that had trouble with analog inputs mixed with digital. Since I went all digital I haven't been able to test the Yamaha RX-V477 with a mix. If you get your TV over the air then this may not work for you but if you use cable or satellite, it should work quite well.

Input all your devices into the Yamaha using HDMI. Then run a HDMI line from HDMI out to the HDMI in on your TV. Then you will have 5.1 audio.

When this device works it works great. However- if there is any type of decoding- Dolby, 5.1 channel, etc it produces a terrible noise. I use this primarily with Netflix- whether it works or not is dependent upon the program- some programs have soundtracks embedded with Dolby or other sound enhancers. I don't think there is much you can do about it. I am unable to turn off decoding on my LG flatscreen- perhaps you can with some TV's. Go into your audio menu and see if you can switch it to stereo only. Good luck.

If credible = lossless HD audio tracks, then YES via the BD55's 7.1 analog outs. NO via the digital coax or optical outs - you'll only get the fallback lossy DD and DTS tracks (higher bitrate than DVD, but still NOT HD) to be decoded by your Yamaha AVR. BTW, wait for the DMP-BD80 coming in March '09, as current pricing for the now discontinued BD55 is completely ridiculous...

Hi there, if you have your tv and movies also attached via digital or optical audio, you will get 5.1 surround on your system if it is broadcast in 5.1. If you want equal sound from all speakers, as 7.1 and 5.1 are quite discrete and are only truly noticeable when movement or something like a loud explosion occurs, then cycle through the audio options of the receiver until you find the mode that gives the sound you are looking for. I usually set my receiver to DVD direct and it will send sound as recorded on the DVD. If you want other modes, look in the manual under the different audio modes and pick the one you like best. I hope that helps a bit and doesn't add to the confusion. True HD, I believe is only sent over HDMI that carries both video and audio. I may be wrong, and digital or audio will do this also. I have had the pleasure of DTS experience through 7.1 and it is incredible. Haven't played with True HD yet. you may want to check out AVS forums for more understanding of HT.

No , not unless you have a receiver. I recommend the bose cinemate system or sound plate . I have 2 lg tv . I have the bose sound plate on one and the bose cinemate on the other. The tvs sound awesome with these sound systems. ..

I am not sure, depending on what audio outs are on the back of the set, but I don't think so. What you need on the back of the set is 5 seperate pos and neg speaker channels out (front R & L, front center, rear R & L, plus a subwoofer RCA out). You can check, but I think your TV audio outs will need to be run through an amplifier that supports dolby 5.1 for best effects.

No, this one does not. Yamaha will be releasing receivers soon with 2.2. Bear in mind, at a much higher price. What sources do you own that require HDCP 2.2? Most consumers will have nothing that supports 2.2 at this time.

I purchased the decoder as my outdated surround sound needs 6 or 5.1 inputs or basically one for each speaker. I am relieved that such a device is available. My dvd player has an optical output and the decoder has an optical input. I then ran the 6 outputs out of the decoder into my 5.1 (6 inputs)surround sound system. It works very well.

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.

Great unit, will process what ever you put into it. May be game was not broadcast in 5.1 Dolby digital.Set up what ever you like, cheers,...

It depends on the output of the source material. If your TV has an optical out then it is capable of outputting 5.1 sound, but you have to be playing media that has its audio encoded in a 5.1 surround sound compliant encoding like DTS or Dolby Digital for your TV to output the sound. You may also have to adjust the settings on your TV to output the sound through the optical output.

Sadly they did away with the Dolby Digital coaxial input to decode the AC-3 Dolby Digital signal from the newer model Onkyo receivers. So you will have to just use the digital output but it will not give you the true AC-3 with all of the discrete Dolby Digital channels that the laserdisc player separate output was intended to deliver. I have upgraded my Onkyo receivers and had same problem.

It decodes dolby 5.1 to stereo. It's not the highest quality product, so I don't recommend buying it.

I use the LG together with a Yamaha 675 AV Receiver. I run an optical cable from the LG optical output to the Yamaha optical input jack. Over WIFI or Ethernet connection to the LG, I can watch movies tuned by the LG and hear great sound through the Yamaha.

I've had the 93 since the preorder in November and it has played every disc I've inserted with no problems. I have DVDs, BDs, and SACDs. But I bet your LG played everything fine when it was new.
