HDMI Audio Transmission for Blu-ray and HD DVD

[no. 5]

After hearing from another member that spoke with a rep from Yamaha, the RX-V661 does not do 7.1 LPCM with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD, and I don't know of any other LPCM tracks extending over 5.1 on any format other than Blu-ray or HD-DVD.

This is from the 661’s manual, under “HDMI compatibility with this unit”:

Multi-ch Linear
PCM
8ch, 32-192 kHz,
16/20/24 bit

I now recall there was something special about that unit.

that and, IMO it looks so cool!

I know it says that in the manual, but I am not sure that it applies to the HD audio formats, it would seem it would. I am not certain as I don't have the necessary things to prove it.

Oh, well.
