How do I get the TRUE HD and DOLBY DIGITAL and everything else to display on the receiver? Seems like I can only do so many, I am using multi-channel and it only shows multi-channel on the receiver nothing else...please help!

you have to set your player to bitstream

jcook71506 · 03-24-2008, 04:37 PM

So no pcm or whatever it's called? Chage the setting on the blu-ray player to bitstream?

You can bitstream the core track. The PS3 has to internally decode the TrueHD track and send out over Linear PCM. It will show up on you receiver as 'Multi-channel'.

***If only this post related to his ACTUAL issue, with a BD30***

Which Panasonic BD player do you have? The DMP-BD10 doesn't bitstream TrueHD or DTS-HD MA. The 30 does.

i dont think he has a ps3

I had a PS3 question thread open, read the post and replied... Maybe I should pay more attention!

Sorry...

Yep, Bitstreaming should fix this...

Okay, when I got home from work last night I changed the settings to bitstream instead of pcm, I turned the secondary off and the pcm downconverson off. Now what setting for sp cal do I use? Right now all speakers are on 6+ and the sub is 12+. Please let me know, everything seems to sound way better before I did the mic. setup now it seems to be a little off in bass.... By the way, I am using multi-channel from blu-ray to receiver.

Does your 605 properly show DTS-HD MA and TrueHD now when trying to play Blu-Ray's with that audio track turned on? If yes, thats all the help I can really give. If no, read this thread (Specifically posts #27 and #30)to see if it is the culprit.

Also make sure you are using a HDMI v1.3 rated cable from the BD-30 to the 605 (most newer HDMI are 1.3 compliant, older ones didnt bother to give this info so on rare occasions you might get one that cant handle the bandwidth of the bitstream)

Your speaker settings depend on your room size, viewing distance, number of speakers ect. I can only reccomend running the 605's Auto Speaker Calibration (Audyssey 2EQ) if you have the mic to do so. That is really your best bet.

I have the HDMI cable from blu-ray to tv and multi-channel from blu-ray to receiver. I wanted loss-less audio, so I just did that....So confused...

From BD30, HDMI to a receiver is the only way to get TrueHD and DTSHD-MA. IT can transmit PCM as lossless though.

BD30 > HDMI > Receiver (set to bitstream = lossless)
Receiver > HDMI > tv

If the BD30 can do, which I don't know if it can or not, you could go
BD30 > Component > TV

jcook71506 · 03-25-2008, 08:13 PM

Wouldn't the multi-channel sound better? Or no?

I have my 605 about 3 months should it be okay. I have had no problems to date with DTS HD MA. Sounds great.

I am running a PS3 and the Panasonic BD 30K through it.
