Decoding 7.1 Issues, Please Help.... - Blu-ray Forum

john5469 · 11-26-2007, 08:39 PM

Hello,

I need some help in figuring out what is going on with my system decoding. You can see my home theater components below so decoding 7.1 should not be a problem. I recently rented "Hairspray" which has a DTS-MA 7.1 track on it. As the movie begins, the the New Line Studios logo appears with some music that shows on my receiver as 7.1 being decoded (all speaker icons lit up). However, when the movie begins, it continues decoding DTS-MA but the speaker icons indicate 5.1 decoding. Please advise if this is happening to anyone else. I own the movie "The Condemned" which has a 7.1 track as well and the speaker icons only light up as 5.1. Help.........

Thanks,

John

Looks like that poineer will Not do DTS-MA but does DTS-HD, I think that is the problem.

Edit:

I looked the movies up & according to this website they are both DTS-HD 7.1, so it should be working.

You need to look farther at the site. That receiver does DTS MA.

John not sure but I an guessing it is something with the movie.
