DTS Music CD HELP

[cbm371]

I was wondering if anyone here has played a DTS 5.1 Music CD in the PlayStation 3. I just tried for the first time and it shows that their is a music CD in the Playstation and shows all the tracks and times. But when you goto play all I get is snow out of the speakers.

I called SONY and the person that I talked to didnt even know what a DTS Music CD was.

Im hoping someone here can shine some light for me.

Thanks in advance.

Are you bitstreaming the audio to a reciever? Or internally decoding? If bitstreaming, does your reciever even support DTS?

To play DTS Audio/Music CD on PS3:

SETTINGS

MUSIC SETTING

Audio CD Output Frequency: 44/1/88.2/176.4 kHZ

SOUND SETTINGS

Audio Output Settings

Select (HDMI or Digital Out(Optical) ) which ever one you have.

Manual

Make sure DTS is Checked

Un-Check in this order

Uncheck Linear PCM 2 Ch. 176.4 Khz
Uncheck Linear PCM 2 Ch. 88.2 Khz

Save & Exit


Note: the DTS Audo CD's do not like 88.2 Khz / 176.4 Khz

When I play SACD I put it back to 88.2 and 176.4 kHZ over HDMI

Thanks dominica for the help. That worked exactly as you said.

Now with unchecking those 2 PCM's, will it interfere with anything else that I will play?

Thanks again a bunch.

You are Welcome. Its a Pain, but I always put back the two PCM's when I am done. The 88.2 Khz & 176.4 Khz helps with SACD or upconverting your regular (Original) CD's to the highest quality.
Its not to bad since I only have 6 DTS audio CD's . Enjoy


Put Back when done playing DTS's Audio CD's
PCM 2 Ch. 176.4 Khz
PCM 2 Ch. 88.2 Khz

ok Thanks for the quick reply.

I have about 15 DTS cd's but dont listen to them that often so it wont be that big of a deal.

Thanks again.

Hmm DTS CD's I haven't heard of this before. I do have Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos CD that has a 5.1 track on it, but wow. That must be awesome. I play most of my music through my Zune going through the media dock into my reciever, it somehow is able to come through in 5.1 or simulate it. Sounds awesome at any rate.

I would think that if your receiver can support 176.4kHz, you don't even need to check the 88.2kHz box. Your CDs and SACDs will be bitmapped to 176.4kHz since you forced it to. But if you check the 88.2kHz and the 176.4kHz, 88.2kHz still get bypassed by bitmapping because of the higher sampling rate you enabled.

The only DTS CD I have is James Horner's Titanic and that thing went out of print FAST! But I am glad someone knew how to fix this. I tried playing it once and my reciever (or my PS3, not sure which) didn't like me very much after that...
