Help-Samsung HD860 to PJ through HDMI w/no 5.1

341 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  jnorton1
I am in need of some help. I just set up my new Panasonic Projector (AE900U) and picked up the Samsung DVD-HD860 unconverting DVD player. I hooked up the DVD through the HDMI cable to the projector and hooked the audio up through a digital coax cable to my JVC receiver.


The problem, I am only getting two channel audio through the receiver. I have tried to change the settings on the audio menu (digital out) back and forth between the only two options (PCM [which is two channel only] and Bitstream).


When I set it to bitstream the DVD player shows that the HDMI cable does not support digital audio. Even with this message I still get audio through the reciever, however, it is still just 2 channel.


I am obviously missing something simple. There should be someway to tell the DVD player that audio will go through either HDMI (which I don't want) or through coax or toslink.


Any suggestions?

Have you found out a cure for your problem yet. I just bought the Samsung and will be getting a projector soon. I want to run the Video to the projector and audio through optical to a reciever. This will be a big problem, no 5.1 when using HDMI, if the issues isnt solved.
