Please help! Bought new receiver(pioneer)but it will not go into dts or true HD sound
Ok this has been driving me nuts for hours. I followed the manual over and over again Heres how I started. I placed the mic were I would be sitting it did some sinewaves and pink noise scans and then that was it. It also says in the manual I should be receiving a on screendisplay on my tv for setting adjustments and also used for scrolling through music on my iPhone. But I have not been able to figure out how to do that yet.
And the other thing that's making me even more mad is that nomatter what I do or what settings I try to push I can not for the life of me get any HD decoding. The best I have is a Dolby pro logic 2 on movie setting. And I know the led on the receiver ahold light up and tell me it decoded HD but it won't and I'm so confused.
All my settings on my ps3 I believe are set right and I'm watching iron man on blu Ray right now and still nothing lit up. All 5 speakers and the sub are working and I believe properly( surround sounds ok ) but I just want to make sure I'm getting the best sound possible. Any ideas please let me know. Thank u so much

the PS3 cannot bitstream HD audio, so your TrueHD and DTS-MA icons will never light up on the receiver using it as your BD player.
the PS3 decodes HD audio internally and sends it to the receier as LPCM. you can hear HD audio, it will just be the player doing the decoding and not the receiver.

Do you have the output of the ps3 audio set to LPCM?

Thank you verymuch guys If you hadn't posted about the decoding and the receiver not seeing it I would still be looking for the icon

Ok as for my settings. I was using these off my initial audio set up since I had nothing for audio
Bd/DVD audio output format ( hdmi ) -- linear PCM
Bd audio output format ( optical digital ) bitstream

I have the PS3 hooked up to my new Pioneer Elite receiver.. All you need is 1 HDMI wire, no optical wire!!.. Make sure PS3 is set for LPCM and HDMI out.. The PCM light will go on in the receivers display..sound is beautiful, hope this helps.. good luck
The PS3 issue seems to be taken care of but...try hooking up component or composite cables for your on-screen menu. I don't know about this particular model, but some won't do the menu through HDMI for some reason..
So to be clear, the receiver will display "PCM" while using DTS-MA or TrueHD?
For example, I was watching Stargate: 15th anniversary on blu-ray, and it comes with a DTS-MA 7.1 track. My Pioneer VSX-9130 reads "PCM" but I have DTS-MA selected in the movie set-up... Is it DTS-MA I am hearing? (I have a PS3)

Yes. The PS3 is decoding the selected soundtrack and sending multi-channel PCM (I assume you are getting surround sound?)
Yes, I am getting surround sound. I only have a 5.1 set-up, yet the receiver display shows the Surround Back speakers as well. They are just being channeled into the surround speakers, correct?
And is the result of sending decoded DTS-MA tracks as multi-channel PCM no different than any other DTS-MA set-up? Or is there a difference in quality...? Forgive my ignorance.
