I just got the Onkyo 605 and need set up help - Blu-ray Forum

Shock3755 · 02-23-2008, 07:47 PM

I have everything hooked up right, but on the PS3 what should I set up for HDMI Liner PCM or Bitstream? Also why isnt TrueHD showing as an option on the PS3 for the HDMI cord? Any help would be awesome.

the PS3 internally decodes TrueHD into PCM, so your receiver should display "Multichannel"

hit the "display" button on the ps3 bd remote if you have one, it will show you what audio codec is playing.

I keep my PS3 set on bitstream and only when I want to hear Dolby TrueHD do I change it to Linear PCM. (you can easily switch between the two during movie play by hitting the triangle button and going to "A/V Settings")

thats the short and sweet answer...but if you want 5.1 matrixed into 7.1 from the 605 bitstream would be ideal.

Shock3755 · 02-23-2008, 07:56 PM

I only have a 5.1 set up for now, so I guess the LPCM is ok.

I was also wondering what the mbps should be running at when I hit the display I thought it was going to be higher its running at 20-25 now should it be higher than that?

Depends on the movie...

Shock3755 · 02-23-2008, 08:35 PM

i am watching Lost now on uncompressed it sounds better, i thought it ran higher with the optical I had.

JasonR · 02-23-2008, 08:36 PM

You are speaking of the bitrate right? Should be the same either way.

Shock3755 · 02-23-2008, 08:37 PM

yeah I am, I thought it ran at a higher bit rate for some reason thought I read that somewhere. Guess I was wrong.

this sound like the Video bitrate...is that what you are asking?

Uncompressed PCM is usually between 4-8Mbps
