I'm afraid there's no help here. The BDP-S1 doesn't bitstream TrueHD. It has to be decoded by the player and then sent PCM to the receiver. Change the audio settings on the S1 on the HDMI interface to PCM and make sure your player is at Firmware 2.00 or greater.

Link to the documentation update that describes which settings relate to the output type.

Link to the BDP-S1 firmware update. This'll get you to 2.10.

If you don't select PCM, I believe the S1 downmixes it to just DD 5.1. We'll have to ask a genius how that's done.

When you have it configured "correctly" your reciever should say PCM. If it's any comfort, players are hitting the market now that bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD HR and MA. I'm waiting till things calm down after the holidays before I select something.

yeah im going to wait on buying my set up untill after the holidays... but i want to know how true hd sounds like... im using ghost rider and 5th element as test discs... but i just cant get that damn true hd to light up
