Dear Audio Sifus,

My Blu-Ray disc comes with standard Dolby TrueHD. My Blu-Ray Player can decode both Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD.

However, during playback I noticed that PCM is indicated on my receiver display panel even though I have selected Dolby TrueHD.
Please enlighten meĀ  icon_question.gif

If your Blu-ray player has decoded the HD audio, it's already become LPCM format so there is no way your AVR can know that it was in TrueHD or DTS-MA.

The only way to see the TrueHD and DTS-MA light up is to bitstream from the Player and let the AVR do the decoding. Unfortunately you mentioned before that you are using the LX61 as your amp. This set doesn't have HD Audio decoders built-in and therefore can't accept bitstream HD Audio.

So you are stuck with the Blu-ray player doing the decoding to LPCM. You won't be able to see the HD Audio info displayed but rest assured you are still getting HD Audio.

Set PS3 audio setting to Bitstream instead of LPCM

Depends on whether his PS3 is the old Fat one or the Slim one. If fat PS3, then it won't be able to bitstream HD Audio.

Correct me if I'm wrong, is LX61 the pioneer HTIB with the tiny satelite speakers?

Yes, that's the one. Sorry I wasn't more specific, it should be HTZ-LX61.

THIS APPLIES IF UR BD PLAYER IS EITHER THE PS3 FAT OR PS3 SLIM.

if ur player is ps3 fat and ur avr does have the truehd function.

-please select LCPM ON UR PS3 FAT AUDIO OUT SETTINGS.-U WILL STILL ENJOY HD AUDIO/TRUE HD,ITS JUZ THT UR AVR WONT DISPLAY 'DOLBY TRUEHD',IT WILL DISPLAY PCM OR LPCM.(THIS IS AVR DEPENDANT)

if ur player is ps3 slim and ur avr does have the truehd function.

-please select BITSTREAM ON UR PS3 SLIM AUDIO SETTINGS.- U WILL ALSO ENJOY HD AUDIO/TRUE HD,AND ON UR AVR IT WILL DISPLAY 'DOLBY TRUEHD'(this is AVR DEPENDANT TOO OF COURSE).

Don't try to show off, type all capital letters biggrin.gif . In the first place Kianwee was just replying that he agrees the FAT PS3 can't bitstream HD Audio. Don't try to give him lesson about LPCM which he already knows.

Unfortunately, TS is not using AVR at all. Just a HTIB which I doubt it can decode loseless audio.

Haha, those guys don't read what has been going on, just want to show how much they know only.... biggrin.gif The HTZ-LX61 is actually a DVD Player HT System. As such it has no HD Audio decoding capabilities, but it does comes with a HDMI input for connection with a separate Blu-ray player which can do the decoding and send it to the LX61 as LPCM.

No further thoughts necessary. Whatever need to be said , have been said smile.gif . Just enjoy your system, even if it doesn't light up the True-HD and DTS-MA logo, you know it's there.
