Receiver Help

[sk1927]

Well, it helps to READ user manuals.  The Sony manual, in the troubleshooting section, tells you if you are not getting  the DTS-HD signals, to set the BD Audio Parameter to 'Direct'; default is 'Mix'.  I did this on the 'Night at the Museum' disk, and the receiver displays 'DTS-HD'.  And sound is present on all 7 speakers.

I did not get a chance to rent a 7.1 DTS-HD disk.

The Sony 350 Player is at the latest rev, which 7.04.  I checked for updates as well and there are none right now.

When the BD Audio parameter is set to 'Direct', the manual says you will not hear the second audio tracks - ie. the commentaries.   Strange that Sony would 'disable' DTS-HD detection out of the box.  

Also, on other Dolby digital 5.1 disks, the sound from the receiver is on all 7 speakers, but the indicator lights are not on for the SB speakers.

Also, I only have an HDMI cable hooked to the Sony blu-ray player.

Think I'm good for now, thanks for the help1
