Help! No TrueHD or MA Audio on RX-V1900

[ShyBoy]

Need help!! I am not able to get my Yamaha RX-V1900 to indicate that it is receiving TrueHD or DTS MA audio from my Panasonic DMP-BD55. I have the BD55 connected via HDMI 1.3 compliant cable to the RX-V1900 and HDMI from the RX-V1900 to my TV. My settings on the BD-55 are as follows:
- Dynamic Range Compression: Auto
- Dolby TrueHD: Bitstream
- DTS-HD: Bitstream
- PCM Down Conv: Off
- DownMix: Surr encoded
- HDMI Audio Output: On

I played Red Cliff which has both DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD audio tracks and on the RX-V1900, it only indicates that it is receiving DTS and Digital Dolby respectively (not MA or TrueHD). The odd thing is that in the beginning of this disc, it plays a short 10 second audio sample of DTS-MA and I do see the DTS-MA indicator on the RX-V1900 during that audio sample but not during the movie. I also played Hellboy II and Transformers with no success as well. And yes, I made sure that I selected the TrueHD and MA audio tracks on the movies.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what I did wrong in the setup and could there be some settings on the RX-V1900 that I need to make. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

I have an onkyo and had the same problem. When I turned the HDMI audio output to off the nice dts master came on. Try that and let me know. Hope this helps.

Definately need to turn Dynamic Range Compression to OFF

Make sure secondary audio is set to OFF.

As there are numerous settings, I am not sure which one I should be looking for. Can you expand on this for me.

HDMI audio output should be set to off.

Thank you very much. Turning off the secondary audio did the trick and I am now able to see the magic words on the RX-V1900 (Master Audio and TrueHD). Thank you everyone for your prompt responses and helping me start the new year on a joyful note.
