Having trouble with Dolby Digital: What A.F.D. should it be on?
495409
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.

I have not had an issue with sound with the unit. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve for sound. I think the unit is a bit slow for response is my biggest concern. Otherwise I just use it to play L&H classic films. Because it was much cheaper to buy the region 2 library disc set than it was for ntsc by about 200.00.

LadyR,Try several DVD's. It may be that the discs you're playing are the problem. It seems to me that if there's not enough info on the disc, when it upgrades the picture it fills in the blanks with "noise", which makes the pic look grainy. Just a hunch, but most of my discs look great with no adjustment now.

this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead. I have one, and I have to tell you this is the worst receiver i have! My problem only happends viewing BD/DVD, mostly with Dolby Tru HD decoding and looking a very high frequencyt scenes liek the ones on Resident evil -extintion. I revise, reset, disconnect and do everything that the web site told me to. Also, I start testing each speaker, and disconnecting one speaker at a time and repeating the scene that is causing the protector to activate. I thaught I found the problematic speaker, but wrong, it happend again, same movie same scene... it is very frustrating My advice, return the unnit, get a Yamaha....

I haven't really tried to get that to work. I was so focused on on/off, volume/mute that I didn't even thing that far ahead. If I figure it out I will let you know. I had the complete HD and movie package but scaled back last year.

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?

Make sure that the BD30 is set to Bitstream, not LPCM, and make sure the DTS-MA track is selected in the Blu-Ray.

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???

Chris , awesome u got an 1222K. Its a great AVR. Go to a thred just on our receiver? Its called avr 1222k . Go to this? U can have any question answered to our AVR. ...But the answer to ur question is only comes on when ur playing something thats picking up one of the signals including ur DTs-HD.. So as long as ur playing something thats sending one of the Dolby signal.... Good luck Chris.

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'm assuming the picture lags behind the audio, which is fairly common with HDMI. Use the A/V sync feature on the receiver (it's under Audio Adjust); 40ms is usually a good starting point.

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.

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

I have the same problem. I contacted Sony customer service and they were no help, however they are sending me the lastest firmware update on disc to see if that fixes anything. Have you found any resolutions yet?

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.
