Will this media player handle DTS audio out to my home theater reciever? I have bad luck finding a media player that outputs DTS 5.1 via MKV files

The player has a S/PDIF optical output so presumably it will output PCM audio. I haven't tested it as I'm using audio from the HDMI output but an online review at http://tinyurl.com/k8ae2lh lists DTS as one of the audio formats it will decode and output.

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference

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.)

It's only a two channel dac. It won't decode Dolby digital or dts. You'll have to set your player to output 2 channel PCM or buy a home theater receiver.

This device should work, however, if your TV isn't capable of outputting high quality sound (Dolby, DTS, etc) your receiver audio may sound not as good as it could be but it should work.

If you are asking if it decodes 7.1 DTS and has 8 discrete outputs for the total of 8 channels, then the answer is no. I don't know of any BD player that does this. Maybe one of the very expensive players does. Just look at a picture of the back - does it have outputs for 8 channels.

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???

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

It shows up as dts but I had it not work due to menu setting in amp allowing main and set(meaning tv set). turn it to main only and it should work, mine does.

Yeah but in this scenario when you watch blu-rays on your PS3 that only have a dTS audio track, it will not be able to bitstream this to the TV. TVs only do Dolby Digital 5.1, not DTS. So it'll only send 2 channel audio (stereo) to the TV.

What this has over the 350.1. Decodes DTS-MA sound internally (so your receiver doesn't need to handle it).2. 7.1 analog outputs (so you can output lossless audio to an older receiver).3. Profile 2.0 out of the box (no firmware update required).If you don't have a super-modern audio system, this player can actually be cheaper because you don't have to upgrade your sound system to get the same sound quality. Spend an extra hundred now to save several hundred later.

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

Yes, you can decode DSD. I have Pioneer BDP-62FD and bunch of SACD disks, they all play through HDMI to Yamaha no problem. It supports 2ch to 5.1ch DSD's.

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

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 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.

You need a receiver that does HDMI Audio Decoding, which until recently has only been availabe in upper-echelon receivers. Most recently the Onkyo 605/605 and comparable Yamaha's and Denons do decode 5.1 and Dolby True HD / DTS Master Audio. If a receiver is labelled pass-through that means it won't be able to split off the audio from the HDMI signal and will just give it to the TV, and you'll have to use a separate digital optical or digital coaxial cable to send to the receiver from your DVD, DVR, Blu-ray, etc. Sucks doesn't it?
