1.0 Mono doesn't play on 7.1 receiver? - Blu-ray Forum

gosabres1984 · 05-22-2014, 12:52 AM

I have an Onkyo 7.1 receiver...and any Blu-Ray (Norma Rae, Dial M For Murder, The King Of Comedy, ect.) that has 1.0 audio will not play on my receiver. Is there a way to correct this? There are boat loads of button and options on my receiver and I'm a noob when it comes to these things....thanks in advance.

If there's no sound, could be a problem with your centre speaker. Have you made sure it's working properly?

Yes, the center speaker works.

Are you getting no sound at all from any speaker?

Could you tell us what the model numbers are for your Blu-ray player and Onkyo?

Straight off the bat, try enabling Dolby Pro Logic and see if you get anything.

When you play the BD does the receiver display the correct flag? I think with a mono track you'd just get a C on the display. Does the audio play through the TV or is it just the receiver that's not outputting the sound?

Depending on the receiver/player and settings, mono may be heard from the centre channel only, L + R or sent to all.

I suggested trying PL, as I think I remember reading that it will send mono to the CC.

The titles that the OP has listed all have DTS-HD MA mono tracks, it could be a codec issue. They could try switching between, bitstream and outputting PCM or vice versa on their player.
