Home theater system only plays Pro logic, no digital or DTS


Hi,

I have a Sony DVP-S330 DVD Player and a Yamaha HTR-5440 receiver.

There must something I haven't tried yet. I've gone into the setup menu's of both the receiver and DVD player and also have rechecked the connections. I only get Dolby Pro logic with everything. I'm sure there is an obvious, simple solution that's staring right at me. (<:

Thanks for your help,

Pete

Well, one thing to check is that the particular DVDs you are playing contain Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding. Many DVDs only contain the older Pro Logic soundtracks, but most recent releases have the DD 5.1. I have encountered DVDs with both Pro Logic and DD formats and sometimes you need to go into the setup menu on the DVD player to select the DD 5.1 version. I think most receivers equipped for DD playback automatically switch to that format when incoming DD 5.1 is detected.
