Yes, supports, but I never saw any tv signal with DTS channels, if you are trying to buy it form home media purpose, I would suggest to search for a better option

Nope. It is an amplified speaker system, not a player. No DTS. If you're into DTS and think DTS is the only way to get good sound, it's not for you. But if you want great, loud, room-filling, full-range audio in a single box that requires only one wire to hook up, it's a very good option.

there is a LPCM "bug" with this Amp. To get it to display DTS, do thisAmp Menu=> HDMI=> Pass thru=> OFFAmp Menu-> HDMI=> Control=> OFFAmp Menu=>HDMI=> Audio Out=> AMPThat should fix all your DTS problems as well as problems with PS4 sound

Not sure if PAL and NTCS formats are crucial I this. Maybe ask Xbox support.

My setup is: Raspberry &lt;HDMI&gt; ViewHD ViewHD &lt;HDMI&gt; TV ViewHD &lt;TOSLink/optical&gt; Onkyo TX-SR500 The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1 So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo. No chance to test DTS yet.

I just set mine up and I'm having the same issue. Voices are muffled and distant, guitars and horns also. I tried cranking up the surround, then the center, switching back and forth from DTS to DD without luck. BD seems to have great sound and play fine, then my old DVD's (so far Steely Dan 2 Against Nature and Allman Brothers Live at the Beacon which BOTH sounded spectcular with a $40 DVD player plugged into my home stereo using only the 2 channel mode output) are very bass heavy, you can barely hear the guitars or backup singers even when you are looking at them on the stunning picture from the Samsung 50" plasma. SOMEONE else must be noticing this from what was the best you could get 5 years ago? Thanks in advance. Otherwise when playing radio sound has more balance and while not up to the levels of my old stereo system now in the basement to eliminate clutter in my small living room, I was expecting far better sound from this system when playing my DVD's with DD and DTS encoding on this system that sounded soooo incredible on the old stuff. HELP?

I connected the DTA 170 to the TV, it's up and running. I have the basic set of station, but as it would be the number of stations I could get had escalated, and when the DTA was programed. I had lost over a dozen station! But that is nothing to what happened next. I have a Magnavox HDD DVD recorder which was -Was a real jewel! After programing it, and going through some stations, my baby died. Will not turn on or turn off, It's totally unresponsive It,s Dead!

Sony has been very bad about clearing this up. Unfortunately, the SonyHome Theater System HT-SS2300 does not support DTS-HD format Sound.The Home Theater System supports Digital Cinema Sound (DCS), DolbyDigital, Dolby Por Logic II, Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic) andDTS Digital Surround. Now the question becomes how do we play over 1/3 of the discs out there with some kind of surround sound???

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.

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!

It has an S/PDIF output, according to the Patriot website.It supports DD and DTS, and this is what their product info .pdf says: "Box Office is optimized for full 1080P HD video playback, includes the latest in video processing technology, and a Dolby®/DTS™ encoder to create a stunning HD video and 5.1/7.1 channel surround sound experience on your home entertainment system."http://www.patriotmemory.com/products/specs/PCMPBO25.pdf

According to ZVOX this unit does have dolby digital decoding via the optical input, don't listen to the other clueless people who responded. This zvox 430 unit will not decode DTS, DTS-HD or Dolby True-HD formats though, so if possible set your audio output from your source (TV, blu ray, etc) to PCM output in order avoid problems.

Thanks Chris. Yes I checked the DVD player tp make sure it has DTS code. I didnt use the optical cable for the digital sound connection but I used the digital coax which I believe should work just fine on DTS. I called customer service but they answered via email and didnt really know how to solve the issue. I am disappointed at Pioneer receiver. Appreciate ur sharing with me. Thanks. By the way, does digital sound has some echo in it?

The old one has **PASSTHRU**. The unit does not decode the DTS channel by itself. It passes the signal to the audio receiver. The audio receiver decodes it and outputs it to speakers.If you plug your old WDTV to the TV and have no audio receiver, you'll get NO sound. The WDBABF has native DTS decoding.

Thanks drhey19, this is very helpful. I am thinking of buying a second unit and I thought they booth looked like the same thing. (I was worried because the DTVPal disappeared from the market for a long time.)

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

I'm now running it on a Dell XPS i7 Win 7 64-bit PC and it does a good job with the Dolby Digital output to a set of Boston Acoustic PC speakers with Dolby Digital support. I haven't tried it on a normal AV receiver with DTS so don't know it that problem been connected. I'm completely happy with it for the price of the board.
