I have seen it in true hd never in master audio but I'd be surprised if it did one and not the other

No you don't need DG820 to decode new HD Audio Decoder (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTSTM-HD Master Audio Essential). All you need is this DG720 because all new BD player have HD Audio decoder built in and pass that HD audio to your receiver and out to speakers.

I was considering these as well. Interested to see what others post. Here is my research has yielded for 7.1 systems with Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio. A lot of people worry about upscaling, I only have blu ray player, so not much need for upscaling. Few do upscaling very well according to my research. Sony STR-DN1000: Nice HDMI connectivity, cleaner look, 100 watts per channel at 1% THD. I've heard upconversion is poor. $330 Sony STR-DH800: Does not upconvert analog sources. 100 watts per channel at 1% THD $250 Onkyo RC-160: Upconverts only to 1080i. 80 watts per channel at .08% THD $330 Onkyo SR-607: Upconverts to 1080p with okay quality, 90 watts at .08% THD $400 Pioneer VSX-919AH-K: .05% THD at 120 watts per channel, just 3 HDMI inputs, no upscaling capability $400 I realize these are Audio/Video Receivers, but it seems to me the main goal of most of them is for superior audio. After all, many TVs do a decent job making SD sources look better, even if you have to run an additional cable or two. To me, everything is going to be HDMI based, so I am leaning toward the Pioneer due to better power and less THD. $400 is very much on the high side of my budget. So if I decide to go with a cheaper receiver, I'll probably go with the Sony STR-DH800.

7.1 and 5.1 have nothing to do with whether the audio is HD or not. In fact, the majority of films/blu-rays are still in 5.1 surround, 7.1 has yet to be widely adopted. So, this means that no, the High-Def audio formats are not downgraded for 5.1 sound.

actually...this does support Dolby Pro Logic. thus it does "synthesize" the stereo audio as you call it.look up Pro Logic and see how it handles "encoded" and normal stereo audio tracks.

Hi there, if you have your tv and movies also attached via digital or optical audio, you will get 5.1 surround on your system if it is broadcast in 5.1. If you want equal sound from all speakers, as 7.1 and 5.1 are quite discrete and are only truly noticeable when movement or something like a loud explosion occurs, then cycle through the audio options of the receiver until you find the mode that gives the sound you are looking for. I usually set my receiver to DVD direct and it will send sound as recorded on the DVD. If you want other modes, look in the manual under the different audio modes and pick the one you like best. I hope that helps a bit and doesn't add to the confusion. True HD, I believe is only sent over HDMI that carries both video and audio. I may be wrong, and digital or audio will do this also. I have had the pleasure of DTS experience through 7.1 and it is incredible. Haven't played with True HD yet. you may want to check out AVS forums for more understanding of HT.

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.

i dont own this receiver yet just ordered it but i can go ahead and answer your questions since i own the older model of this baby and only upgrading since i plan on getting a 3dtv sometime soon i hope. 1. yes it will encode all the past formats and since it includes decoders for dolby true-hd and dts-hma you are good there 2. in the audio options of every bluray it will give you option for the loseless audio codecs and the older lossy formats like dd+ and dts.

I've always used my BDP-83 for HD audio, also called lossless audio - Dolby TrueHD, DTS-Master Audio, and PCM. You can only get 5.1 HD/lossless audio with an HDMI connection to a receiver. The problem with attaching a hard drive via USB is that the BDP-83 only supports FAT32 format, used in DOS & Win95, and limits file size to a maximum of 4GB, you'd have to break HD direct into a bunch of 4GB files. Also the hard drive needs to have its own power supply, the electrical current in a USB connection is only enough for USB flash/"Thumb" drives. The newer Oppo models support NTFS, which has pretty much unlimited file size. Cheers

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???

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

Yes...It pretty much has Digital in Coaxial and 2 Optical Jacks, component and composite video jacks as well as 4 HDMI inputs for pre-set components including "game". Pretty much everything. Once connected there are numerous 5.1 channel sound settings for Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS and Neo: 6 modes for various components. You may want to look up the HT-S3500 manual at Onkyo to further review.
