HD-XA2 Audio: If not, what HDDVD player will do so?
304456
I hooked up the 5.1 analogue outputs instead of the digital connection yesterday. WOW now i get the advanced dolby codecs decoded by the XA2 and passed straight to my surround system. Very cool, real noticeable upgrade over former AC3 decoding.

I just got my XA2 and I don't have the foggiest idea how to connect the audio to my Denon AVR-3801. I tried the optical connection but it did not work. Would someone please give me a hand?

Nope not the one. I'm waiting for a solid state True Full HD (1920x1080) 30p solution. I couldn't care less about HDDVD BlueRay compatibility. I'll be playing the files from HDD of HTPC. I'm considering Sanyo VPC-HD2 as interim camera.

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

No, There are currently no Sony recievers on the market that support HDCP 2.2. There is an Onkyo, but even it only has 1 port dedicated to it. The STR-ZA1000ES will support HDCP 2.2 but it is not available yet. Luckly right now there isn't very much content that supports HDCP 2.2. but it will become a problem later if you trying to future proof your system. They will be able to update the HDMI firmware but the hdcp is not backwards compatible due that the current hardware was not designed for it yet. Honestly, I would wait. They starting to roll out HDCP 2.2 Receivers soon, beats worrying about it later. Hope that helps.

no, just don't use the bitstream output from the ps3, use linear pcm and you'll get dts-hd and dolby truehd from the receiver, the ps3 will decode the audio just fine.

Yes you'll be able to, but you'll have to find a way to get audio from the Blu-ray player because DVI doesn't support sound.

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!

I have XMBC (frodo build) installed on my EB1503 (as I use the box as a media server) it has no problems with any of the HD audio associated with video codecs (DTS & Dolby TrueHD). I've never tried streaming from an online source (as I only have DSL). My audio/video goes over HDMI to my Onkyo TX-NR608. My experience would say that it is your decoding software having problems, not the EB1503 hardware.

Maybe the video on the disc is recorded in 1080i. If the XA2 is getting a signal from the DVD+r telling it it is interlaced then it will shut down. My A3 can play the recorded disc but my A1 can not after I upgraded it's firmware.

I assume you have another digital audio input for your hdcp input, yes? There should be no problem.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

I would suggest checking the settings on the DVD player. Many will have multiple options for audio output.

L/R analog rca jacks, optical (Toslink), or HDMI CRC (which does *not* work with my Yamaha receiver!)

Hi Eddie. I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great. Greg

Of course you mean 192 kHz. I don't know if Pioneer just forgot to list that mode, or if they were referring to the Blu-ray spec which only supports multi-channel, uncompressed PCM up to 96 kHz. But the PS3 lists all modes which the connected HDMI device reports support for. The last one listed is "Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 192 kHz", so support is there. Now, just find some content with that level of audio.
