bd/reciever?

[littlesturgeonguy]

hey guys i have a samsung bd-up5000 and a marantz sr40001 av receiver and have hdmi from bd to receiver and receiver to lcd tv. it was recommended to use the pcm setting on the bd player vs. bit-stream audiophile also has bit-stream re-encode. tonight i went to watch the hancock bd and the sound effects would play fine but the talking didn't work so i switched it back to bit-stream and it worked fine. anybody have any input on this?

That does seem strange...Hancock is Dolby TruHD, which the player should have decoded without a problem, and sent to the reciever via PCM. It appears you lost the center channel dialogue.

Have you done any updates to the player lately?

i updated the firmware recently to version 1.3 my wife had trouble with a movie she got to but i don't remember which one that was also Indiana Jones bd but i didn't figure out till last night it would play fine if i switched to bit-stream.

sounds like either your player is forcing 2.0 PCM, do you have any "downmix PCM" turned on?

or, your receiver has a setting incorrectly somewhere. HDMI Audio = Enable (not "Through")

i have the downmix turned off, i don't know what the problem is i searched around on the receiver for a bit and didn't see anything. i got to head over to the inlaws for turkey maybe tonight i can mess with it a little more.

looking at the user manual pg. 10 footnote:

*When playing a Dolby TrueHD disc, audio will only be heard over the front left and right speakers.

sorry man. I think youre limited to 2.0 TrueHD.

Bitstream will send the lossy 5.1 "core"

have me a little one due in may. So I know how it is.

Just set to Bitstream and enjoy! You can still utilize 'Uncompressed PCM' audio tracks.
