That will have to changed in your blu-ray player which you have set to output PCM digital audio. Change the audio output on the blu-ray player and it will display the type of hi-res audio that is encoded on the disc.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

Sounds like you have the audio for the TV set to Surround. Go to TV preferences, audio and then select different mode.

The computer I haven't tried it but the tv change the display to component, like if your watching cable, I just turn off my cable box and the tv is still on, just black and I can hear my music

I had the same issue with a Panasonic TV ST series, the TV kept saying that there is no signal every time the receiver changed the sound mode or something. it got fixed by setting the right label for the HDMI port being used. It wasn't set to "Receiver" and as soon as I changed it, the cut outs stopped.

When you are getting TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, are any lights supposed to come on the receiver to signify that the stream is being picked up, or should you just assume its working if it is set to Linear PCM?

You need to go into the on screen (TV) menu and set the DVD input to use the component input. I know that the BD input cannot be changed from HDMI. See page 39 of the operating instructions, Input Setup Menu. You can download a PDF from Pioneer. FYI read the whole thing as there are so many features in this receiver, you will never get the full experience without understanding all the settings. I spent about a week tweaking the auto MCACC setting for levels and equalization. Well worth the time.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

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

I had the same problem. Fixed it using this solution here:http://www.avsforum.com/forum/109-home-theater-box/1481206-help-samsung-ht-e5500-keeps-changing-source-2.html#post23923247

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

You have to change where the audio is being played through, if you have a windows computer then you change it by clicking the speaker on the bottom right corner of the screen and change the playback device

You can change options on the Honestech TVR panel. Please click on the TV button. Maybe you have to click on the properties button to do some settings. I hope this helps

I have had the monitor for 2 weeks, but it is used constantly. I frequently attach or separate it from different PCs, and it has been both shut off completely--or simply allowed to hibernate. I have not experienced this problem of the audio failing to switch on with the monitor. I suspect that the monitor is choosing the wrong audio input and perhaps decoupling it from your video signal. Are you using HDMI (for both video & audio), or do you have a separate audio signal input? My guess is that if you use VGA, you should avoid leaving any source plugged into the HDMI port. Likewise, if you are using HDMI, use a newer cable that supports audio and disconnect the audio input at the back of the monitor. Does any of this make sense? Did it help?

Thanks T. J. Schaefer! It worked perfectly. I did have to go in under sound settings to change my default audio device, but I'm up and running now. :)

I had the same problem. You can make it work and keep the sound on the speakers if you use either the optical output or the digital output from your TV or receiver. Neither will probably work initially when you hook it up to the TV link. The key is that you will have to go to each source box (directTV box, playstation, cable box, etc.) and edit the settings and change the audio output from Dolby Digital to PCM. Once you do that, the TV link will work great, and you can still have sound from the speakers at the same time.

Once you install the stereo, you have to go into the settings and take it off of display mode. That should take care of the problem for ya.

I do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.
