I have a Panasonic BDT-110 DVD, how were you able to get the 5.1 stream on Netflix?Thanks.

I did not do anything other than set up the player to my wireless comcast internet stream. Then went to the Netflix app on the player and linked it to my Netflix account. I have a Bose Lifestyle system that shows what the audio stream is. Netflix has a limited amount of movies that are streamed in 5.1 and not all HD movies Netflix has are streamed in 5.1. Suprisingly Amazon video on demand has less titles but more are in 5.1 sound so it's dissappointing that this player does not stream Amazon in 5.1. Sorry I could not be of more help with Netflix but once you set Netflix up it should automatically stream the movies in 5.1 if it's available in 5.1 I did not do anything other than set up the player to my wireless comcast internet stream.

I have this issue too. I've just spent over a hundred and thirty dollars on a 5.1 speaker system and sound card. Verified the sound card and speakers work properly, and when watching Star Trek Next Generation, it's as if I were in the edit bay at Paramount running the production prior to adding sound effects. The effects tracks are not being heard. Look Amazon, we're paying for this service to the tune of nearly a hundred dollars a year, and we bloody well deserve the full 5.1 / 7.1 audio experience we're paying for.

Call Panasonic and complain. I have called numerous times insisting they come up with a firmware update to resolve the issue of no 5.1 sound on Amazon Video

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

Amazon streams great. Netflix doesn't stream at all. According to NetFlix, the app version that comes on the player is two versions old and needs to be updated by Samsung. Samsung says that since I have the most recent update to firmware, it isn't their problem. Consequently, NetFlix is unuseable.

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.

I have the Coby 10 inch version and was finally able to get Netflix to work using version 1.5.2. Any newer version the audio and video get out of sync. Here is a link to download the apk file (toward the bottom). They are modified to not ask for newer version. Connect to the USB and copy the file to the download folder. Then just use your APK installler or file manager program to install.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19202722

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

Awesome J.Ausfeld! When you get this figured out - please let us know. My wife tried to get me the 2550 for Christmas, but got confused and I ended up with a 2500. Meanwhile, I *love* the netflix streaming... it works great. Now if I can only add Pandora! (Also, I've been thinking that with web-enabled content, all kinds of applications could theoretically be programmed on a disc...).

HEY FRANK: Dont think you are crazy. Adobe pulled its support for Amazon Unbox videos and the like. So, you simply wont be able to play your videos over your Asus until Amazon finds a way to patch or come up with a ew system of allowing people like you and I to watch the videos we have purchased. It licks balls because if you cant watch movies over it, whats the point, right? I have been assured that Amazon is working on this and will have a fix sooner than later. Until then, I either just watch stuff on Hulu or Youtube or, watch the stuff you have on Amazon at home over your Toshiba like I do.

I am not seeing the ability to stream Amazon instant video. Anyone know how to do this. My old Blu Ray player kept adding channels to installation.

No that is a Windows setting. If you have a ATI card there is a separate driver that helps with 5.1 over HDMI. The other setting is to force 5.1 but you loose Windows volume control. There is not a way to have windows volume control from a 5.1 Bitstream on a dchp. Video stream. Set settings for Windows first. Then set settings in windows media center if that is your package.

You cannot have Netflix on any audio receiver which is what this is. The sound from the TV is the only thing that comes into it so you can listen to it through your speakers. I researched all receivers and none have this feature. The main reason is no receiver has a video processing section in it, it's all audio. What I did is to buy a cheap Bluray player which does have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime and dozens of other on-line movies to watch. I prefer Amazon's Prime, which for an annual subscription provides the same type of movies, but 1,000% better video and audio quality. BTW, you also must have an internet connection to see any of these services, including Netflix plugged into your Bluray player.

Optical 5.1 audio is limited to legacy Dolby Digital and DTS audio formats. Connecting via 5.1 analog will allow you to hear the lossless Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio. You receiver doesn't decode these formats, so with this setup, the Onkyo is decoding the audio and sending it to you receiver via analog 5.1.

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.

No but there is a solution.The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

Yes, in this case, your TV output is the weakest link and is down-converting all of your content to 2.1. In order to get true 5.1, you'll need to connect each of your devices separately. I ran into this exact problem :(.

David, I wasn't clear. I am already a Netflix member. I am able to see a Netflix movie on my tv screen, but I must first browse and order it from the Netflix website on a computer. Then I can see what movies are in my instant queue on the tv screen. I then click it and the movie is played on the tv.Contrast this with the VOD Amazon service: I can browse and order from the tv screen, which is alot more convenient than using a computer. I also hear that the Roku interface allows one to browse and order Netflix movies from the TV screen.So I was wondering if anyone knew if this inconvenience will some day be remedied by Panasonic via enhanced software?

Did you adjust audio settings-BD audio settings to "direct"? You need to feed direct, not pcm, to the 606. I have this problem with my sony s-550, but now they are mates matched in heaven. Just finished watching Traitor: dolby trueHD, Max Payne:DTS-HDmaster audio, The Dark Knight: dolby digital blu-ray. The sound is seriously lossless like what they said.Also, have you adjusted preset listening mode in setup menu of the 606? Set Dolby TrueHD to Dolby TrueHD , and such in that sub menu?Hope this help, BTW, the 606 is the beast once that TrueHD or HD-Mastr light are up !
