gingermart Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year I have been bought the The Time Machine tour dvd for Christmas and I cannot get the dvd to play in 5.1 surround sound! Tried messing with settings on player but to no avail. other Rush dvd's like R30 play in 5.1 no problem after I have selected 5.1 sound! I have tried it in the computer and it seems to only want to play sound in stereo.Only stereo is recognized(no sound at all if 3/2.1 dts is selected) both in the pc and the dvd players! Any suggestions? thanks Edited December 29, 2011 by gingermart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerg58mi Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 RUDT is right, it is only stereo and DTS, are you sure your dvd and receiver can decode DTS as it is different from Dolby5.1. Check your gear or the hardware settings on your DVD Player. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingermart Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) thanks guys but each dvd(R30 and TMT) both have the same symbols on and R30 plays but not TMT Edited December 31, 2011 by gingermart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerg58mi Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I just ran r30 through a program that shows me the audio streams R30 has 2ch LPCM and AC3 (Dolby Digital)5.1 where TMT has DTS 5.1 and AC3 2ch. Check your gear to see if it is DTS capable, older or cheaper gear might not be able to decode dts. Check to see if your dvd player and receiver both have the dts logo on both. of them. no sound is a sign of the stream not being decoded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingermart Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) ok thankyou all for your help Edited January 1, 2012 by gingermart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just an Escape Artist Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 QUOTE (gingermart @ Jan 1 2012, 05:55 AM) ok thankyou all for your help The other thing to consider is you are using HDMI or not. My system is a little older, it has DTS but not HDMI. Some blue-ray that are HD-DTS will default to digital EX or something like that if you are not running HDMI to your receiver. Mine does that sometimes. I am running optical cable. The Rush blue-ray however should show either DTS or 2.0. The 2.0 sucks. the DTS is sweet as all get out, especially the drum mix. I think the DVD is the samer two choices, DTS and 2.0. The DTS is a far better choice than 5.1 anyway IMO. Hope that helps and not confuses. Also, you may want to check your cable conection, I find that if my optical cable pops loose or disconnected, it will screw things up for me.
