QUOTE(andyz @ Jan 16 2009, 12:41 PM) i don't know whether mod will allow this .. but here goes.. That why, in avsforum there is a thread where they request WD to include function step down to stereo in next firmware update.The.Bourne.Identity.2002.1080p.HDDVD.x264-BLiND AUDiO..............: English, AC3 5.1, will play stereo on rca jack Goodfellas.1990.BluRay.1080p.AC3.x264.dxva-EuReKA Audio Codec.........: AC3 will play stereo on rca jack The.Hunt.For.Red.October.1990.1080p.HDDVD.DTS.x264-CtrlHD Audio: English DTS 5.1 - 1536 KB/s No sound The.Dark.Knight.2008.BluRay.1080p.DTS.dxva-EuReKA Audio Codec.........: DTS no sound Queen.Rock.Montreal.1080p.BluRay.x264-TRiM AUDiO..........: English 2.0, FLAC from 24 bits 48khz PCM No sound (not even sure whether optical will play this) English 5.1, 1536 kbit/s DTS core from 24 bits 96khz DTS HD No sound English 2.0, 128 kbit/s AC3 commentary with Brian May and Roger Taylor Will play stereo on rca jack for queen u can actually click on the audio to choose which audio u want... so when u go downloading u see dts as codec .. u know cannot play unless u have optical out with dts amp.. others should be able (this same goes for the hdx1000 and popcorn) but again dvico 6500a . semua boleh step down to stereo...normal rca jack... |

yes step down means output dts to stereo internally
bro did u read what i wrote ... hdx1000 cannot do it too... only dvico 4100 and 6500a... hdx1000 will be able to do it when they update the firmware with the function, which they have promise since september (at least they have letter from dts for prove) but till now zippo naada nothing....

haha, i got it andyz, i know they still not yet update the firmware, but maybe one day they will update it while for WDTV, not sure since all is about the licensing issue (We already got the player so cheap o.o), while for the momment i am still comtemplating whether to invest into HT/HTIB, so the files will have to be converted to include AC3 sound output.
The mkvdtstoac3 is a pain to be used as need to download the various tools, and i was wondering worth all the effort to convert or just go out and get an AVR will be easier? |

dunno about you guys, but I prefer to keep the higher quality DTS for my collection, intact as original file.. rather than convert to lower DD track..
but for those with time and also HDD space, I guess can keep 2 files, one original content and the other playable for WD. |

QUOTE(DigitalKL @ Jan 16 2009, 11:02 AM) Even if the WDTV has internal decoding which I really dont think so, you wont get 5.1 channels from the your termed RCA. Those are for two channels, how to carry 5.1 channels? Only way to get 5.1 channels is thru toslink and HDMI. I got mentioned stereo sound lar, broof coz RCA carries only 2 channel sound Added on January 16, 2009, 10:52 pm QUOTE(ar188 @ Jan 16 2009, 04:34 PM) digital rca = coaxial, right?

It doesn't carry dedicated channel for each of the speakers thoughof coz RCA carries only 2 channel sound Added on January 16, 2009, 10:52 pm digital rca = coaxial, right? |
