DVD
DTS = 1536Kbps(Full) 768Kbps(Half) @ 48Khz @ Up to 6.1
Dolby = 448Kbps or 640kbps @ 48Khz @ 5.1

BluRay/HDDVD
DTS-HD = Up to 24.5Mbps @ 96Khz @ Up to 7.1
Dolby TrueHD = Up to 18Mbps @ 96Khz @ Up to 7.1
LPCM = Up to 27.6Mbps @ 192Khz @ Up to 7.1

the choice is yours.....

DVD Dolby limited at 448kbps, only Blu-Ray 640kbps and HDDVD at 504kbps

for whose AVR support HDMI with HD Audio Pass-throw decoding go Lossless or LPCM.

normally u guys choose DTS/DOBLY by the BD/DVD or DB player or AMP ?

what r u trying to ask?

That is what I called it high treble....makes ur ear pain..

choose the soundtrack through the disc menu, or press the dedicated audio button on the remote control to change.

Example when u put a DVD in ur DVD player. In movie title u will have a SETUP option to let u choose. English DTS or English 5.1 rite ?

And ur amplifier will have DTS or DOBLY (all like of surround).

So let say if u want to choose DTS surround.
U will select in ur DVD player or ur amplifier ?

Hope u guys understand coz i dunno how to clarified it too

select in ur DVD player, not ur amplifier

So what should i set for the AMP ?

You don't have set nothing at AVR. It will auto decode what ever type of supported audio from dvd player

Exactly right. If the encoder did not use the right parameters, the output will be affected. Therefore s/he must know what s/he is doing.

The fact that Dolby TrueHD and DTS HDMA are lossless codec says something. If they are not outputting exactly what was given as the input, they wouldn't pass the lossless test. Wouldn't the AES have been alerted by now if either one doesn't pass the lossless test?

By the way, using LPCM on BDs is good except that it takes up the bandwidth. If the feature is short and visually uncomplicated, it's fine.

next we are going to have BMW Vs Benz

And then BMW M vs Benz AMG

Analog Stereo

Untouch Audio signal, superior than any audio codec.

Good one,mate

^^^ I beg to differ... it can be a lossless bad encoding as well. Garbage in garbage out... you get the same exact bit by bit garbage but that doesn't make you happier

So is this a characteristic of DTS encoding that it will hike the treble? Hence you will always feel it is louder?

OK 1st solution is assuming ur using BD/DVD player HDMI 1.3 with CEC function > goin through a CEC able amplifier + surround speakers 5.1/7.1 > then to TVin order for the sound to come out in surround and TV mutes

1) set a player to output bistream through HDMI (either Auto or non-PCM)
TURN OFF "Mix" or "Secondary audio" options well

2) set at amplifier or TV HDMI option = speaker to "amp only". Not "amp+tv".
juz set either one.. CEC will handle it.

3) make sure amp is set at DIRECT. Not STEREO.

4) amp speaker layout 5.1/7.1/7.1 with rear surround A & B, or individually configured speakers (Denon amp have tis function)
coz some amp have upmixing or even prologic/dts-neo:6 kick in


2nd solution if dont have CEC

at step 2) set at both amp and TV

then during movie/content option. select either Dolby/DTS


3rd solution if using coaxial or optical to amp (which support up to 5.1 only)
this 1 is not so accurate... but for Sony BD player.. these are the guidelines

keep amp and TV settings like previous

at player set Coax/SPDIF to Dolby/DTS and never PCM. some have combined option.. some seperates

a) for BD player set "mixing" on.. to enable re-encode into bitstream

b) if "mixing" is set off. SPDIF Non-supported bitstream is decoded at 7.1ch codec and output as LPCM 5.1

Added on December 9, 2010, 1:52 amalso still depend on DAC and op-amp performance

i.e SAMSUNG C5900/C6500 uses cirrus logic 4353c, SONY S370/S470/S570/S770 uses Wolfson WM8524

2 different maker... go check their spec sheet already shows different performance
but final performance is influenced by many other performance such as EMC, power line noise/ripple, DVD/BD drive capability~

I think that guy is playing the pirated dvd, usually the rirated dvd DTS sound isn't the true DTS made in the DTS studio, those pirated dvd DTS audio is made by their own from Dolby, they just simply make the sound level higher than normal level. Please support original DVD and BD!

Original DVD - DTS some title also generate more high treble and it became noise after all.

the correct term to define this symptom is called "dialogue normalization".

Dialogue or vocal, which has the usual range of 400 Hz to 4kHz is not attenuated, That why DTS often sound "sharper" in the "trebel" region.

for Dolby formats the dialogue normalization is usually between -27dB to -31dB.
for DTS formats is 0dB.
