My bedroom AV system consists of a Yamaha RXV 3900 receiver, a Panasonic DMPDB35 blue ray player, a Directv HR 22, all feeding a Sony 46 XBR6 wide screen tv. The RXV 3900 also feeds a Sony KDL22L4000. All interconnects are accomplished via HDMI cables. The RXV 3900 does a good job of feeding both TVs, either simultaneously or one at a time. The RXV 3900 also decodes Dolby Digital sound from both the DVD player and the Direct TV HR 22 DVR. I have the following questions:
If either TV is on, the Dolby Digital decode works fine. If both TV's are on, the RXV 3900 reverts from Dolby Digital to Pro Logic. Should I turn off one of the two TVs, the RXV 3900 reverts back to Dolby Digital.
Secondly, if I put a DVD in the Panasonic DMPDB35 DVD player and select Dolby Digital for audio, the RXV 3900 correctly decodes it and shows it on the screen.
Should I change the audio to DTS (verified by checking the DVD player audio screen), the RXV 3900 shows Pro Logic. I show that the RXV 3900 supports the DTS format, but I can not get it to decode it from the DVD player.
Any ideas how to accomplish this? I have the same DVD player and TV in my living room, supported by a RXV 4600 and it automatically decodes the DTS and show so on the screen.
Thanks in advance for the help! Also the RXV 3900 manual leaves a lot to be desired. Any better information resources?
