many people say the ps3 cant decode dolby true hd
but in the side of my ps3 it says dolby true hd..!!

Whomever says that is WRONG!

I always thought it could decode it just not output it. Doesn't it just convert it to regular dobly digital?

JasonR · 03-23-2008, 02:29 AM

No, over HDMI it outputs TrueHD via LPCM. It is TrueHD, if using HDMI.

PS3 decodes trueHD fine. I dont know where you heard otherwise.
You have to:

1) Set your PS3 to PCM
2) Use HDMI
3) Set your receiver to accept PCM signals

And lastly, select the Dolby TrueHD track on the disc, and there you go.

What I don't understand is, why do people spend the money to have nice recievers like the Onkyo 805 or 875 or even better when the PS3 will never be able to bitstream HD audio to the receiver to decode? If the PS3 is limited by the internal hardware then why not buy a cheaper receiver that will just pass the HDMI signal and let the PS3 internally decode the HD audio codecs?

Because the 805 has other features I wanted besides next gen audio decoding, like THX Ultra2, Audessey MultXT, etc.

Also I don't plan on using the PS3 forever as my primary BD player. So I am future proofed in not having to by a new receiver to do the next gen audio at that time.

I see. I guess I am just ignorant because I don't know what the THX Ultra, Audessey MultXT does?

Expensive receivers have existed long before HD audio codecs. Maybe its the added connectivity, added features and supposed increase in sound quality that makes people buy those more expensive receivers? Not to mention the 875 has an advanced video upconverter.

I plan on buying a new Blu-Ray player when prices start to come down. I'd really like to get a Denon but they're a little too much right now.

The PS3 is just fine for now....besides, it plays video games too

For number one, don't you mean PCM? The PS3 can not bitstream TrueHD.

Oops, yeah its a typo. I changed my original post. THanks.

The 605 has an upconverter as well, doesn't it? I'm just debating on what I should do. I've found a 605 used for $300, which I think is a good deal. I've heard that the upgrade to the 705 isn't really worth the cash, but I don't know. I don't have a whole lot of experience with AVR's. I'm assuming the 605 would be plenty for me.

if all you want is basaic, then yes 605. but for future proofing and the other extras it is worth it. theres more to the differences than what people mostly talk about. check the onyko site
