Np. Double check your AVR settings if all of the above dont work.
AVR receiver must not be on dolby. Straight or pure or whatever / min 0rocessinf.
audio/auto, dsd/on if u use sacd discs, bd mix/off, dd&dts/downmix PCM, neo6/off, downmix/off.
Took me a while to get these right
Hi, shouldn't the player be set to bitstream???? That way, the source is doing the decoding? Feel free to educate me if this incorrect :-)

You're correct. If your blu ray player decodes audio, there's no way your AVR will know if it's DTS HD etc. although you will still get HD sound.
hi all,
i tried all the above diffrent settings but am afraid still not getting the dolby true hd lite on the receiver.I also just tried a blueray with DTS HD MASTER AUDIO this also dosent seem to get the dts hd lite ON.When i display on the Receiver i am getting PCM SIGNAL saying 7.1 /or 5.1 multichannel. And yes my HDMI setting on receiver is DIRECT.
Oh God could some one come to my assistance am really now getting frustrated.
Thx in Ad,

(I remember this problem on my Sony AV)
Make sure that your receiver has not got a setting for hdmi set as tv+receiver. It needs to be set to just receiver.
Otherwise the receiver will set to the lowest common denominator between the tv and receiver - ie PCM
Hi
My audio settings on the Sony S370 are:-
1. audio hdmi - auto

Different to jeff ! Not sure which is right but experiment and let us (both) know !
hope one of us can help
Cheers
ps flicking thru manual and p29 /30 not sure the amp actually displays truehd on front panel?????
jeff,
just tried your settings....No didnt work,i am still getting only pcm signal.The difference btw your setup and mine is the avr,mine is onkyo HT-R590. I also upgraded the blueray firmware.
Robin,
Just tried your settings also. No Bro..still not working for me. About the hd lite you asked, yes the fron panel had the lites and are supposed to lite up as soon as the signal is picked.
I didnt understand when you said reciever should not be on dolby-where are these settings? also my sony player dosent have an off option in down mix...we only have stereo and surround.
I just play with stuff,more often I stumble on the correct settings,but sometimes I need advice too.
From what I gather you should not be using neo 6 which is a surround type decoder,you need to set your avr to a straight setting to except the HD.hope this helps.
