Need Some Help! About Pioneer BD-94. . .

[Blu-RayLover]

Over a period of about 5 months, I've been trying to find out if my Pioneer BD-94 Blu-Ray player can decode TrueDoblyHD? In the manual for the player it says it decodes TrueDobly as Dobly Digital. Now, I know that the player can not decode DTS HD MA. But, the TrueDobly issue is a bit perplexing, since I have recieved different opinions on this matter, based around the confusing nature of what the manual stated. Naturally, I called Pioneer several times to settle the issue and they told me the clip for TrueDobly is already in the player. Also, most of the reviews I've read over the internet say the same.

I have the player connected directly to a 5.1 adaptor going into a 5.1 power amp, so I'm using the internal decoder from the BD-94. Now, I have noticed a difference in clarity when I make changes in the audio set-up, but I'm not really sure just what the internal decoder in the player might be doing, since there is no way of getting any info on the matter from the player. All of this came about, because a friend of mine who also has a BD-94, connected through an old (5.1) Pioneer multi-channel receiver, has found some films do not sound as good in the TrueDobly mode as opposed to the standard Dobly Digital. Is there a big difference by using a multi-channel receiver? Or, does the receiver do something to the signal anyway? All I know is that in my setup, it appears that the TrueDobly is superior to compressed 5.1 Dobly. But then, after all this fuss and research, I'm still not sure where I stand with the BD-94, since I've received all sorts of different opinions. Can someone out there give me a solid difinite answer on this Blu-Ray player?
