Having problems decoding DTS

[G-force]

I have a HK AVR-125 from a few years back and a Panasonic F-85 DVD player and for some reason I cant get them to communicate DTS decoding between the two. I've gone into my DVD menu and turned off PCM. And put the settings to bitstream but still cannot get sound to come through. I'm using the optical connection. I think the receiver is getting the signal because I can get the DTS icon to light, but I just dont get any sound through it. Any ideas?

Have you considerd receiver setup? Are you sure your DVD properly supports it?

Sounds to me like a setting within the receiver. Perhaps your sytem doesnt think you have a 5.1 system. It may be set at 2-Channel. Im not sure.

Goodluck.

DVD player is set to digital out?
Receiver set to digital in, per either coax or optical?? If you dont set it, it defaults to looking at analog signals and if none present, no sound!

I had the same issue recently with my Denon 3806, no sound. It turned out to be just as Jad2 suggested, my receiver for that particular input was only accepting analog signals. Eventually I figured it out, set the input to digital (on my receiver menu) and presto, 5.1 was coming through.

Some discs you have to get into the menu to setup dts but if the light is on your player but your not getting dts,go back into the player and receiver menu and double check everything.BTW,you should be able to here DTS through you analogs to.

DTS is digital only. Prologics can be decoded/synthisized through analog, but there is a big difference.

There are many DVD players that can decode DTS and output through the analogue outputs. So if your player supports this you can either let the player decode DTS and use the analogue outputs or send it digitally to the receiver and let the receiver do the decoding. If your player doesn't support DTS decoding then you have no choice but to send it digitally for external decoding.

JAD2 has learned something he now can try.
