Please reference your player user manual for details on audio setup.' What does that mean?!? My understanding is that if i have any dvd's with dts es on them ie lord of the rings, it will not decode it! Why would they do that? You can simply do this by changing the audio setup mode in your player to stream out over HDMI and let your receiver decode the DTS 96 /24, DTS ES, ES Matrix, and DTS NEO 6 streams. Another option for you to enjoy full Master Audio would be to have your AV Receiver decode the bit stream. DTS-HD Master Audio Essential will be a full Master Audio feature set for Blu-ray Disc, with the exception of DTS ES Matrix and NEO 6.Īlthough DTS-HD Master Audio Essential does not currently support DTS 96 /24, DTS ES, ES Matrix, and DTS NEO 6, for standard Blu-ray Discs, DTS backwards compatibility makes it possible for you to automatically enjoy your Blu-ray Discs entertainment experience in high quality DTS Digital Surround. DTS-HD Master Audio Essential provides the same quality high-end sound that consumers have come to expect from DTS-HD Master Audio. Launches a variation of it's increasingly popular surround sound technology DTS-HD Master Audio, which delivers high definition audio that is bit for bit identical to the studio master. In a new version called DTS-HD Master Audio Essential, it will keep the new and ultra-hip lossless surround codec MA, but will downconvert several lesser-known ones to basic DTS 5.1. There is a new wrinkle in DTS-HD Master Audio, the lossless audio codec. In the search for more info i whent to dts' web site for an explination and got this: 'DTS, Inc.
The pani candian web site makes refrence that the player has this dts master audio essentials.
I've been waiting for Panasonic's DMP-BD55 for the 7.1 analog ddhd & dts master lossles decoding, as my yamaha does not have hdmi.
