You only have ONE speaker hooked up? I don't know if it can tell what's available. I've never run it without anywhere for the signal to go. I don't use the amps in the 4ES therefore no speaker connections. I do use the eight preouts. I have all kinds of gadgets hooked up to the thing and its auto function works perfectly. I'd have to check my settings. It's been a long time since I paid any attention to them.

Sony STR-DA4es : Auto Decode Problem
Hi Guys
Got my 4es Friday and finally got to hooking it up. I have my DVD player hooked up with a coax digital cable. My Ultimate TV is hooked up with an optical cable. For now, I only have my center speaker hooked up, if that matters. While playing back either source in the autodecode mode, there is no sound from the center speaker and the display shows only the L/R and Sub speaker icons along with the "coax" or "optical" also showing appropriately.
The "Stream, linear pcm (48khz)" also shows after switching inputs.
If I choose the normal surround mode, it does go into PLII and the center works fine.
I've used DVD's and played movies on the Ultimate TV that should be in DD or DTS but no go.
I know it must be something very simple, like not having the other speakers hooked up?
Where is my DD or DTS?
thx
