connection is player-hdmi-avr?
avr shud auto detect if the bd disc contain hd audio tracks.
sometimes, if the disc has multiple audio tracks, u need to select the right audio at the disc-menu-audio options.


anyway, like to ask if anyone has tried playing 4k bd on normal bd player, normal avr?
normal tv gives no 4k effect, i suppose?

If u want to play 3d, the player, disk, avr n TV must be all 3d.
3d disc usually have 2d option, u can choose if yr avr n TV r not 3d.

the player audio output options shud b in settings when u turn on the player. set it to pass thru.
i took a quick look at yr player specs, shud be ok, alto discontinued model.

if 3d player but not the avr n TV, try to play 3d, a message will pop up, can't play at all.
revert to 2d on disc menu or change to 2d disc, it plays, avr auto detect hd audio, can go to disc audio options to choose other audio tracks.

i just read up a bit on 4k upscaling, 4k pass thru, HDMI 2.0... and now this dolby atmos!!

dolby atmos avr supposedly can take up to 64 speakers... hmm... $$$!

so hard to catch up... my next move, will get a 4k player device and 4k tv first. enjoy the 4k video hdmi direct to tv, hv just the core dts/dd from avr.



question really is... even 4k videos are rare, how many dolby atmos bd's/files are available?

just took a quick look at the denon x200 specs...
http://www.denon.co.uk/uk/product/pages/pr...ductid=avrx2000
4k upscale, 4k passthru... but no 3d...
meaning u can get a 4k capable device, connect hdmi to avr, u get 4k video on tv, hd audio on yr hts.
but yr avr can't deal with 3 d.

or get a player device with 2 hdmi ouput (rare n $$$, i believe)
.. 1st output for 3d, player-tv direct, digital audio only.
.. 2nd output for 2d/4k, player-avr, hd audio.

can't hv it all unless u have lotsa moolah to buy everything uptodate.

personally, i wont chase technology but use it to the best of what i can do.
e.g. i really dun care about 3d after just 2 viewings in the cinema, so video and audio quality takes priority - just me.

oops... I missed that part, says avr 3d pass thru...

set player to audio pass thru already?

when u play 3d, do you get the 3d video but no hd audio or you get no video at all?

anyway, i already hv 2 bd players, one 3d capable, never used for 3d!
