DTS-HD-MA and current Players/Receivers

Post by chuckken2 »

Can this be true?...Please read and tell me how you interpret this???...I thought you had to have 1.3 HDMI to get MA?... :?

High Definition Player with DTS-HD Decoder to Current AV Receiver

You can enjoy DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio if you have a new Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD player with a DTS-HD Audio decoder built into the player. The audio will be decoded inside the player and passed to the receiver in two different ways.

HDMI 1.1 or 1.2 Connection

In this scenario, the high definition player would output the audio as an uncompressed 6 to 8 channel linear PCM digital audio stream. You will need a player with a built-in DTS-HD Decoder, and both player and AV Receiver need to include HDMI version 1.1 or 1.2* outputs/inputs. HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface, and is a single-cable connection designed to accommodate digital multi channel audio and video. Simply connect the HDMI cable from the output of the player to the HDMI input of the AV Receiver. The DTS decoder inside the AV Receiver will "ignore" the Linear PCM stream and pass the audio stream on to your receiver's digital-to-analog converters and then on to the 5.1 or 7.1 amplifier. This way you can enjoy DTS-HD Master Audio that is a bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.

Holy Cow!... I just did a test with Xmen Blu-Ray...and it works!...I know it does. It has DTS-HD-MA in 6.1 and I'll be damned! it really works!...I have the Panny Blu-Ray player with 2.2 firmware and You can tell changing from audio format to audio format on the audio display...As soon as I hit DTS-HD... BAM! All 7 lights light up on my Pioneer Elite VSX84TXsi receiver...Usually there are only five (and it throws some of the sides to the back channels...But in this case the rears are putting out a lossless and completely different sound than the side surrounds...Say what you will...I know it works!... :D :D :D BTW, The only player I know of that will decode the DTS-HD-MA and send it as PCM to the receiver is the new Panasonic player or the first gen Panasonic with the new 2.2 firmware upgrade... :D
