Does not support Dolby True HD Buyer Beware

According to the manual, the BDP-S300 can decode Dolby TrueHD as the Toshiba HD-XA2 does. It sends the signal out through the audio out L/R jacks, the optical and coaxial jacks as well as the HDMI out jack.Check out page 48 of this PDF manual --> http://www.sonystyle.com/wcsstore/SonyStyleStorefrontAssetStore/pdf/BDPS300.pdfThere are a number of contradictory articles online which claim otherwise.

No, but DTS-HD has a DTS core that will play fine on your DTS receiver. However if your receiver does not support DTS at all you won't be able hear anything unless the bluray or dvd has a different audio track or your player will down-convert for you. All Dolby True-HD blurays I have, also have a Dolby Digital track as well.

There are too many possible combinations of inputs and outputs to give a blanket answer to your question. The main limitation is that the included converter does not accommodate Dolby digital which is standard output for most newer equipment. Also, if the input to your device is HDMI, in many cases non-HDMI outputs are automatically shut down so they will not work with the converter in that case either.

Hi Chelsea, The TOS-Link standard does not transmit TruHD Dolby Digital or DTS-HD because their bandwidth is greater than the TOS-Link specifications. The only way to get those High Definition formats is through the HDMI interface cable. The best that TOS-Link can do is transmit Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS-Master Audio which are both compressed audio formats. I hope this information is helpful. Sincerely, Larry Gates.

This soundbar has problems decoding Dolby digital plus which causes audio to cut out. Check out Yamaha yht series.

I gurantee that the 606 will show Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA if you do it correctly, play with it for a while till it works. I just finished watching Rambo (2008) in DTS-HD MA. I don't know about PS3 so it might have different menu from stand-alone BD player like S-350 and S-550.PS: click my name/profile to see the TrueHD picture lit on the onkyo 606 !

The description indicates Dolby Digital. I have only used it for a 2 channel stereo application.

It's only a two channel dac. It won't decode Dolby digital or dts. You'll have to set your player to output 2 channel PCM or buy a home theater receiver.

I have XMBC (frodo build) installed on my EB1503 (as I use the box as a media server) it has no problems with any of the HD audio associated with video codecs (DTS & Dolby TrueHD). I've never tried streaming from an online source (as I only have DSL). My audio/video goes over HDMI to my Onkyo TX-NR608. My experience would say that it is your decoding software having problems, not the EB1503 hardware.

Chris , awesome u got an 1222K. Its a great AVR. Go to a thred just on our receiver? Its called avr 1222k . Go to this? U can have any question answered to our AVR. ...But the answer to ur question is only comes on when ur playing something thats picking up one of the signals including ur DTs-HD.. So as long as ur playing something thats sending one of the Dolby signal.... Good luck Chris.

I am surprised its not HDMI 2.0. Had I known I would not have ordered because I have always been told in order to do 3D you need 2.0 and 4K you need HDDCP 2.2 so either I been misinformed or this unit cant do what it claims

I had a similar problem on my Xbox 360 through HDMI. The trick that worked for me was to set the AUDIO OUT under the HDMI settings in the receiver menu to AMP. It was set to AMP/TV and for some reason that doesn't allow for DTS or Dolby Digital. Good luck!

Make sure that your PS3 settings - sound settings- set up to play automatic. And that the only way you'll get DTS or Dolby digital is if it is recorded that way (super bit etc.). Hope this helps!

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

Beats me. All I know is that your output must be strictly optical digital or it won't work. Apparently JVC couldn't come up with the technology to differentiate between pcm and dolby sound. I have it hooked to the analog which is at least better then the lousy speakers on the TV.

If I recall correctly, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are only available when connecting via HDMI, is that what you are using?Edit: Saw your later post. I believe you will need to contact your cable company to obtain a digital cable box in order to obtain HD audio. Without this, the option is not available to you. Make sure it has an HDMI output (most digital boxes do nowadays but some cable companies are still behind the times.) You can get an outside box but you'll still need a cable card most likely in order for your service to be connected. Most cable companies have them as they rent them out for a $2-$10 fee to Tivo users. Again, this is dependent on how monopolistic your cable company is so ask them first.
