Doors Box-DTS?

Are you playing the DVD-Audio section? That's the high-quality version, and won't come over an optical/coax link; you need to use HDMI, i.Link, Denon Link or 6-way analogue cables.

The DVD-Audio disc should be authored to allow you to access the low-quality DTS version from its menus, but if it doesn't, find your player's set-up menu and tell it to play DVD-Audio discs as DVD-Video.

But that's only a stop-gap measure really. You should get your cabling sorted out so you can hear the full-quality advanced resolution DVD-Audio.

This is a DVD-Audio disc. Your other discs are presumably DVD-Video discs, or DVD-Audios that allow you to access DTS from the DVD-Audio menu.

DVD-Audio discs have two separate menu systems - one which DVD-Video players see, and one which DVD-Audio-capable players (like yours) see. The menu for DVD-A players is supposed to include everything from the DVD-V side, but this disc apparently fails to offer the DTS version in its DVD-A menu. As a workaround, your player should have a set-up option which allows you to see the DVD-V menu instead. But you don't want to use this, because...

The advanced resolution sound is better than DTS. It's high-resolution, uncompressed audio. Bit like the difference between CD and MP3 (except advanced resolution is better than CD, and DTS is better than MP3, but the same principle).

You shouldn't be using any surround modes on the receiver - make sure you're selecting the multi-channel input. That's the MULTI CH button on the remote.

When using the multi-channel input, the receiver won't do any bass management etc, it's up to the player, so you'll need to make sure speaker sizes and distances are set on the player.

Yes it is.



Your receiver is processing the stereo feed, not the multichannel layer. Check your setup in the Oppo to be sure you've chosen multichannel as default.

Good luck,

With the doors box set you would need to access the dvd-video portion to get some of the extras, along with the videos included. In your Oppo set-up there should be an option to play the dvd-video when a dvd-audio disc is inserted. As others have said, this usually isn't a problem because you can access both from the dvd-audio menu. But The Doors and other discs have been poorly authored and require you to go into your settings on your player to play the dvd-video part of the disc.

That Multi-Channel mode on the Onkyo eluded me for a while as well.
