Receiver says DD, but Blu Ray says DDHD

711 Views 7 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  schan1269
My receiver says Dolby Digital but the Blu Ray Movie menu says Dolby TrueHD?


Why is it doing this? I know that my receiver supports TrueHd but it does not show up on the receiver screen when I watch The Dark Knight. But when I watched 300 it does show Dolby TrueHD.


Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Rhammer, as I recall the Blu Ray disc was defaulted to the standard DD/DTS track, so I had to manually select the TrueHD soundtrack under audio/language setting.

Yea I did that. It switched to TrueHD on the Blu Ray but my receiver still said Dolby Digital.


Is it Dolby Digital or TrueHd then?
What receiver and BD player?


Is the BD player set bitstream or PCM?

Receiver is the Pioneer VSX 820-k and the Blu Ray Player is the Panasonic BDT210.


I do have bitstream turned on.
In the menu options it has an option to turn bitstream on and I selected it. There is also an option for "BD-Video Secondary Audio". Should this be turned on?


Also when I turn Bitstream on, a paragraph below it says:


When "Bitstream" is selected in each setting above (DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD) with BD-Video Secondary Audio set to "On", the audio of BD-Video is converter and out output as follows.

-Dolby D +, Dolby TrueHD to Dolby Digital

-DTS-HD to DTS


If you want to enjoy the original audio, please set the BD-Video Secondary Audio to "Off".


What should I do and what does this mean?

Ok. I figured it out.

All I had to do was keep bitstream on and turn off BD-Video Secondary Audio.

Now I am getting Dolby TrueHD on The Dark Knight and Spiderman 3.

Cool, glad we could help the brainstorm session.
