Problem With Sound on Blue Ray - Blu-ray Forum

dsbrecher · 12-25-2008, 10:15 PM

Problem: I've got a new Panasonic DMP BD-35 Blue Ray player. It has played several movies (Kung Fu Panda, etc.) fine. But when I try to play Disney's Prince Caspian or Wall-E, the movie plays, but I get no sound through my surround sound system (Harman/Kardon AVR100). The sound is actually fine for the previews and right up to the start of the movie, then there's nothing. I have to play the sound through the TV. Any thoughts?

I think both of those BD disks are DTS-HD MA sound; are you connected with a HDMI cable? If your connected with a optical does your receiver decode DTS?

Your receiver probably can't do DTS Master HD and if you have an older receiver then you have to hook your Panny up via analog to get the DTS Master HD. The Blu-ray player will then do the decoding, instead of the receiver. I hope tha helps.

Are you using HDMI for your sound or something eles There is settings for audio in your player have you played with any of them?

what is the blu player sound output set to? bitstream? lpcm?

callas01 · 12-26-2008, 01:59 AM

one of my kids were playing with the remotes to this player the other day and the audio wouldn't work, I just reset the player and everything was fine, you can find the reset procedure in the troubleshooting section. See if that helps.

I'm not connected with HDMI. I'm connected with optical. I don't think my receiver decodes DTS. The Blu-ray player sound output is set to bitstream. Any other thoughts?

If optical is the only connection available to you and your receiver cannot decode DTS...you may be hosed.

Your receiver doesn't decode DTS then you need to set DTS to PCM in your player setup, that will decode it to 2-channel stereo inside the player which your receiver can handle
