I use my Samsung TV app (to stream netflix) and am unclear whether this cable is transmitting TruHD Dolby Digital. . The description says "unsupported by TrueHD and DTS-HD".

Hi Chelsea, The TOS-Link standard does not transmit TruHD Dolby Digital or DTS-HD because their bandwidth is greater than the TOS-Link specifications. The only way to get those High Definition formats is through the HDMI interface cable. The best that TOS-Link can do is transmit Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS-Master Audio which are both compressed audio formats. I hope this information is helpful. Sincerely, Larry Gates.

I had the same question about my BD-C6500. After scouring the web without finding anything, I e-mailed both Amazon (no info) and Samsung (no reply), then called Samsung, who said that for now only their TV's support Amazon's streaming, but suggested that I keep checking their site for updates; so maybe they have plans in the works to add Blu-rays so they stay competitive with Sony and Panasonic, some of who's models ARE supported? Wish I better better news!

Yes. I use it for Dolby DTS but I know it also supports newer formats as well.

Yes it is. In fact I tried DTS-HDMA and True-HD bitstreaming right through MPC-HC, over HDMI and it works like a charm once set up in the player. I guess this answers yours question, and I highly recommend this board for non-overclocking work. Mine's been working 2+ months since I built the rig 24/7, and have had no issues at all.

I own 3 of these devices and they play everything perfectly, including 3D movie files. I don't know what you mean when you ask if it shows up as a 3D enabled device, but here is how it can be used: Get a large external hard drive and fill it with .MKV downloads, both 3D and regular movies. Connect the hard drive to this device and connect it to a TV via HDMI. Select the movie you want to play. If it is a 3D movie it will begin playing as a split screen until you hit the 3D button on your TV remote at which point you are now watching a 3D movie. Note: the best reason for purchasing this device is that a large percentage of the 1080p movie uploads use DTS sound. If you have a Samsung TV purchased within the last couple years, you can plug your hard drive directly into the USB port on your TV and play the movies without the device because Samsung has paid the licensing fee to use DTS sound compression. No other TV manufacturers have, so if you try to play movies directly through their USB port, many will not play with sound. This device fixes that problem.

I had the same problem. Your best bet is to email Samsung with your exact TV info and let them tell you whether the two are compatible, or, if not, whether they have a suitable product.

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.

Being compatible and being fully compliant are not the same thing. Any HDMI cable should work, but if you have the Roku 3, then you notice that you get a non-HDCP compliance error sometimes. That's because the cables are not fully compliant. This cable description says that it is, which is why I'm upgrading to these.

According to Samsung tech support only the MHL port and ARC hdmi port supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and it has built in support for HEVC H.265 as well as a oneconnect port for future upgradeability which Samsung guarantees for 4 yrs. FYI other external 4K devices also need to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to view 4k, if not you get downgraded to 1080p. Oneconnect box not included. As of now you need to make sure when shopping for 4k whether it is a tv, receiver, or any other UHD/4k device that all of the hdmi ports support hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 or if not at least the ARC port supports it and/or there is an upgrade path. It also needs to support 4k at 24/30/60hz (60 right now is primarily being used by online streaming companies like netflix and amazon) and has HEVC H.265 supoort. Also while most people will tell you that current 10.2 gbps High speed hdmi cables will be good for everything meaning no need to upgrade be aware that current HDMI 10.2gbps high speed cables do not support 4k at 60hz also refered to as 60fps. They max out at 4k@24hz with some managing 4k@30hz. The hdmi.org has raised the the speed to 18gbps for the new hdmi spec. So i recommend getting HDMI cables that is rated at least 18 gbps and supports 4k@60Hz. Don't over pay. Monoprice is just starting to get the 18gbps cables now and others will be too. Keep in mind you only will need new cables just for devices that use 4k@30hz/fps and above which there none right now except for a $299 streaming device that is coming out soon. As of now 4K Blu-ray specs have not been finalized yet so it will be a while before we devices. Cable/sat devices also will take a long while to make the change. So most of your 4k content niw will come from the built in tv apos like netflix and 4k proprietary media players or hard drives with 4k contentent like the samsung one. This tech is really 1 to 2 years at the earliest from fully taking off.

I got this to do the same and it appears that it did not work for ME going from my 2012 Mitsubishi 92" DLP 3D R.P big-screen Digital Coaxial to RCA (Red,White output ) inputing it to my new Samsung Home Theater system 3D-Blue-ray and I still got no sound.... My next try is the Digital coaxial converter to Optical input on the Home Theater, I hope this helps you. I wish us both luck.. Greg

This is a digital toslink cable. Both device interfaces must be digital toslink in order for it to work

I had a similar problem on my Xbox 360 through HDMI. The trick that worked for me was to set the AUDIO OUT under the HDMI settings in the receiver menu to AMP. It was set to AMP/TV and for some reason that doesn't allow for DTS or Dolby Digital. Good luck!

I gurantee that the 606 will show Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA if you do it correctly, play with it for a while till it works. I just finished watching Rambo (2008) in DTS-HD MA. I don't know about PS3 so it might have different menu from stand-alone BD player like S-350 and S-550.PS: click my name/profile to see the TrueHD picture lit on the onkyo 606 !

We have a Samsung HD digital TV that is about five years old now that is connected to the new Blu Ray player, we play reg. dvd's, Blu ray dvd's, and stream netflix with no problems. Hope this helps.

I have JRiver Media Center and with latest drivers and compatible outputs, I was able to bitsteam 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio from a Zotac GPU. I believe it is the Intel CPU that decodes the DTS-HD MA signal. I must say that there is a significant improvement in the sound across all audio sources over the hardware that I had before.

Well, i mean, the only reason I want to use the analog connectors is because I think I'll be able to get TrueHD and DTS-Master audio if I do it that way, instead of using my fiber optic cable or coaxle cable. Is this true??

My setup is:Raspberry <HDMI> ViewHDViewHD <HDMI> TVViewHD <TOSLink/optical> Onkyo TX-SR500The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo.No chance to test DTS yet.
