My NMT (Egreat R1-II) is connected to the LCD via HDMI and via optical to the receiver.
The problem now is that files with DTS HD is outputted in the receiver as stereo only.
Hi qball,
My friend is on HDMI after verifying his connection to his reciever, unlike yours audio is optical
The 7.1 set is correct for optical connection with True HD material via optical so you can get audio.
a few suggestions:
is it possible for you to connect as follows:
NMT -> HDMI -> receiver (HDMI in) (for audio) --receiver (HDMI out) to display (for video)
Kindly keep in mind that TrueHD and DTSHD cannot be passed by optical or even analog so to produce TrueHD and DTSHD, you'll need to pass from NMT to the capable receiver via HDMI
All HD audio tracks can NEVER be output except via HDMI, anything other than HDMI, you hear sound pero it's no longer Lossless HD Audio but the standard plain jane DD or DTS tracks.
Users often get confused because they hear sound even if the track is DTSHD but what they don't know is that they are actually hearing the
DTS CORE track embedded in DTSHD.
the reason walang marinig is because MKV
cannot hold the
dolby digital "core" track within a TrueHD track. Same is observed with PCH,
BDMV/BDISO holds the Dolby digital track properly and outputs it to optical fine. Playback DTSHD and TRUEHD in BDMV/BDISO structure via optical/analog is fine (which in reality is the Dolby digital CORE track)
