Hi Guys
I just upgraded my old Onkyo (non-hdmi) receiver with a Pioneer VSX1018 (supports all hi-def formats).
My setup is as follows:
780G mobo=>HDMI to=>Pio AVR=>HDMI out to 720p Projector
LG BR/HDDVD combo drive with PDVD 7.3 OEM (with 5.1 audio patch)
I watched Transformers (HDDVD, DDPlus audio) with PowerDVD and noticed on my receiver, it displayed the standard "DD" logo
. The 5.1 speaker setup LED's on the receiver was lit and I was getting 5.1 sound.
How do I determine whether the audio (off HDMI from my HTPC) is not internally decoded? I guess my aim is to send the audio to my receiver to do the decoding. Or do I need another software that can pass hi-def audio out to my receiver?
Any ideas?
Thanks
