DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up

Hi everybody.
I have denon 2500btci blu-ray support DTS HD Master & Dolby true HD and use denon avr4306 for pre/pro.
If I want to enjoy this new HD format which should I choose.
setup blu-ray has
*Mix Audio Output-Output the secondary and interactive audio with primary audio if it is available(audio will be output in a multi LPCM format.)
*HD Audio Output-Output only the primary audio(audio will be output in bitstream.)
Which one should I choose.
2nd question is
*HDMI Multi(normal)-The multi-channel audio signals are output from the HDMI OUT with bitstream or LPCM
*HDMI Multi(LPCM)-The multi-channel audio signals are
output from the HDMI OUT with a LPCM.
which one should I choose for ..new HD format.
Need your help....Thanks

Kal,

Here's my re[ply to that exact question of Denon.

Hi Ken,

The DVD-2500BTCI can convert Dolby/dts HD to LPCM if the BD Audio Mode is set to Multi LPCM, or the unit will do it automatically if connected to a device that doesn’t support Dolby/dts HD.

So he will be fine with this setup and be able to use the new codecs, I saw what you referred to but have always been told to the contrary.

Actually the Denon 4306 has HDMI v1.1 and does accept multichannel audio inputs in LPCM.

The Denon 2500 does output all the new codecs in either bitstream or LPCM, and will even automatically select which one your receiver/prepro takes, so as long as it's outputting LPCM you can use all the new codecs.

Kal,

Actually I've had one for a couple months, and have used it both with LPCM in one system and bitstream in another. It's a nice unit, a bit slow still to load and it doesn't do Profile 2.0 (if that interests you, I'm not too impressed with that) and when it locks up on a disc you have to often power it down and reboot it, which takes some time and ruins the flow of a movie.

Funny, it seems even Denon themselves don't know what this thing will output!
