Uncompressed audio and my Sony - Blu-ray Forum

borninusa · 01-18-2009, 04:48 PM

Okay..I am fairly amatuerish at all this.....

Anyways...I put in the movie Crimson Tide and set it to play 5.1 uncompressed (PCM I think). I have a Sony 550 blu ray and a Sony STR-DA2100ES reciever. When I go to play the movie my reciever sets to Pro-Logic. It is playing 5.1...but in ProLogic.

Why would that be?

(Sorry for the stupid question)

It's not stupid, and don't let anybody tell you that it is.

I suspect the output mode of the 550 is doing something odd. What is it set to?

Without firing it up (as my daughter is watching tv)..what are the options?
( I will know what I have it set to if you tell me what the options are --I just dont remember off hand)

I can't remember the precise names, my apologies. But it should be doing the output in PCM mode (I think it's "direct").

Check the thread for the 550, it's a sticky. Lots of stuff on it there.

Its set to direct..that much I know.

You *are* using HDMI?

Sony BDP-S550 ---> HDMI Cable ---> Receiver ---> HDMI Cable ---> TV

Not everyone has that option..... Plus analog sounds just as good as HDMI.
