I don't understand that bit can you refrase it? Also does it show 7.1 with other movies? Are you using HDMI cables?

that is what I have under bluray player settings

when I play huntsman winter war 4k and hit the display on my receiver I see dts 5.1

the audio saying English: DTS:X

The settings you have on the player and you posted here seem ok but you are not being very clear explaining this.

1)Is the player connected to the receiver with an HDMI cable and then another HDMI cable goes from the receiver to the TV?

2)Are you getting sound from the 7 speakers, do you actually have 7 speakers plus the subwoofer connected?

[Schism213]

Do you have 7 speakers connected?

I run a 3.1 setup and the info screen on my onkyo will show the track being played and what its actually outputting.

Example:

Audio: DTS-MA 7.1
Output: DTS-MA 3.1

well i'm talking about the stereo receive when I hit display it saids dts 5.1 instead of saying dts 7.1

is it because instead of putting it on bd dvd my brother got it on tv/cd and that's why when I hit display on receiver it saying 5.1

meaning if he had put it turn on bd dvd on receiver would it say dts master 7.1 when I hit display?

No it won't be that, if you answer what I asked you I might be able to help you but if if I have to keep guessing I can't.

That means you have a 5.1 setup, the receiver is capable of 7.2 but it seems your brother set it up properly according to your speaker configuration so 5.1 is all you will get unless you add two more speakers and change the settings accordingly.

but on old receiver hts s3000 it used to display for an example hd master 5.1 and dolby digital when it was on bd/dvd that is

when I had sony 3200 bluray player that is so i'm having a very hard time why I cannot get 7.1 to come up display on receiver

basically in a nutshell you don't know if my dad can put bluray player input in receiver and make it say bd/dvd button instead of what it is on now tv/cd it will display 7.1 eh

the thing when I put it on cd/tv<-that what he set it on receiver it just say tv I don't know why he set it up like that normally it suppose to be bd dvd meh

[y2jman]

I just don't understand why he wanted to run bluray player to tv instead doing it bd dvd

Different receivers will do different things with their displays. It doesn't mean it's wrong.

[y2jman]

I just hate that sound will not come on bd dvd on receiver like it did when I had standard sony bluray player 32000 and onyko ht s3300 he got sound on receiver to tv/cd aka tv

heck I don't even see hd master or true dolby when I click on display it always going to say 5.1 dts or dolby digtal 5.1 because he got sound though tv part on the receiver its very frustrating


unless somehow I need to change a setting on bluray not say that all the time on receiver

you see he got turn on lg smart tv audio out optical hdmi arc digital sound on auto and simplink hdmi cec turn on<-hence sound will come out only though tv on receiver when press tv/cd

basically in a nutshell he thinks only way to experience 4k with new onkyo receiver is have sound coming out of tv which I dislike very much

You are still not very clear so it is hard for me to offer you any alternative method to connect it.

At first glance it sounds like your brother connected it correctly but he is wrong to say that there is only one way to have 4k using the onkyo receiver as you have at least a couple of ways to connect it and still have 4k.

You have to answer ALL the following questions me or anybody else can't even start to help you because I am not completely sure what the problem is. In one post you complain the receiver doesn't display 7.1, the next post you say the sound is coming out of the TV.

Where is the player connected to? tell me exactly where AND what input.

Where is the TV connected to? the receiver or the player? what input/output

Is the sound coming always from the actual TV set like you say on the post I've quoted or is it coming form your front large speakers?

[y2jman]

the receiver is this

instead of me click on bd/dvd then bluray player will turn on i have to click on tv/cd to turn on bluray player which is the sound is going to come though the tv

this is what he saying onto why he put it on tv/cd instead bd/dvd It is because it goes through the television first. It is decoding the correct way.

Your new Blu-ray player is handling the audio decoding since it handles the newest format, not the receiver. That is the difference. The audio output is the same or better


however like i said because its on tv/cd on receiver aka tv when i click on display the words like hd masters 5.1 true dolby hd 7.1 will never saying it instead it will only say dolby digital 5.1 or dts 5.1

since lg tv sound is audio out optical hdmi arc digital sound on auto and simplink hdmi cec turn on
the encoding will not change as you can tell by the picture it showing dolby true hd<-if receiver was on bd/dvd instead tv/cd it will display it but since its on tv/cd it won't display

[cochon]

Ok, you did not answer my questions but you were more clear and I think I understand your problem a bit better.

There are a few points I would like to make.

!)When you press pause and it says 7.1 is because the movie has 7.1 on the disc and that is what the player is showing. It does NOT mean you are actually getting that through the speakers.

2) Your receiver is not the latest and doesn't seem to have ATMOS or DTS X which are the latest surrounds but it doesn't matter. Because of the speakers you have connected 5+subwoofer =5.1 that is all you will get (5.1) provided the receiver is properly set up.

3) The player DOES NOT decode the surround, the receiver DOES and some TVs may too but in the way you seem to have it connected the receiver is the one doing the decoding.

4)I had an Onkyo for a very short period so I don't remember well but I think you can press something to have it showing the surround type that is playing, it is something you need to read or find ut yourself.

For last if I understood what you don't like abut the current set up you could forget about the ARC which means when watching regular TV (unless you add more connections) the sound will come out of the TV but the movies on the player can still be played by the receiver. For that just plug the HDMI out of the player directly to the TV and there is a second HDMI output on the player (it has a sticker covering it) you would connect that second output to your receiver BD input if that's what you prefer. You could also switch off the HDMI CEC and just control everything individually.

well play huntsman winter war either 4k or standard bluray and I go on receiver and click on display it saids 5.1 dts or 5.1 dolby

umm hdmi 1 is the switch watch bluray

yes that true it has dolby and dts on it nothing on atmos or dts x

if I change the hdm1 to hdmi 2 and make bluray player to be on bd/dvd and not on tv/cd on receiver

when I press display on receiver will it actually show like in display pic dolby true hd or not

I can't guarantee it, as I've said you need to find that for yourself as I no longer have an onkyo receiver but there should be a way the receiver will display the kind of surround like in your photo. There is a forum for receivers on this site you can try asking there.

Remember that if you do those changes you need to run two cables from the player, oneHDMI1 to the TV and another HDMI2 to the receiver.

Might need to ask over in the thread for the receiver as not to derail the Sony x800. Good luck.
