Denon AVR-889 audio problem - Blu-ray Forum

jesse94 · 08-06-2009, 12:42 PM

I have the AVR-889 and when the audio is in Dolby True HD the front display says Dolby Digital.

Is it normal or I'm doing something wrong?

what do you have the audio coming from your BD player set at?
How do you have your BD playet connected to the AVR?
I don't have the same BD player but have seen general guidelines for HD Audio. If you want the receiver to show DTS-MA or True-HD, you'd have to set the player to "bitstream", sometimes called "audiophile" for some players, the audio to your recevier. Your receiver will then decode the audio and display the proper codec it is decoding (DTS-MA, True-HD). You need to have your BD player connected via HDMI for this to work. If you have the BD player connected via TOSlink (optical), you can't get the HD audio. The connection simly does not have the capability to do this.

There are other ways for you to get HD audio (PCM over HDMI, PCM over pre-outs/analogue connections). But if you want to see your receiver display DTS-MA or True-HD, bitstream over HDMI is the solution.

ok thanks. I'll get my BD player. I know the AVR is in bitstream.

Ok I got it to work. I had read before about the secondary audio thing. I didn't it was on by default. You have to turn it off to get True HD and DTS-HD.

Wow, True HD sound so much better than normal DD.
