The Last Emperor Audio Issue

[Pirate King]

My receiver read "Stereo". I do believe it is a DTS MA two track as others have said. I could not get my Pioneer Elite Receiver to read DTS, but when I went to some of the menu options, and selected the commentary track, the menu setting changed from DTS to Dolby. Therefore, It is indeed, as others have indicated, in DTS. I am still a bit puzzled as to why it only reads stereo on my receiver. Perhaps because it is only a two track, or perhaps the Pioneer will not display DTS unless it is 5.1. I dunno. BTW, I thought the sound was very good, and the movie speaks for itself. An excellent film.

Would like to buy The Last Emperor on blu,but there is NO Director's cut available(just theTheatrical,Both cuts are great and are available from Criterion on standard DVD in a super package!?,)I smell double dip,shame on you Criterion! Now these sound issues,i'll pass on this one!!! Seems like Criterion does not want to please Blu Ray fans,a what's up with the weird packaging with their Blu's!?!? Criterion fans deserve better!!!

Thanks for the update! Freaky. That's exactly the issue I had, and I concur apropos to the movie and sound.
