Hi Millemissen

Now I'm confused. Using a BR disc with DTS hd 7.1 and with the PS3 setting to LPCM the beovision 9 sound output says input pcm 7.1 - output multichannel 5 speaker

Setting to bitstream and the beovisoon 9 says input dolby 5.1 output dolby digital 5 speaker

So now I have to ask what is the difference with the two outputs and (as I have 5 speakers) which is best for me and why ?

I do want to get the best set-up I can

thanks wortonmiller

Hi wortonmiller,

we had a similar discussion in german forum a few days ago:

/forum/imported-unmapped/beocord-v8000-an-beovision-7-40-kein-recording

With a bluray (5.1 DTS-HD MA audio format) in my internal bluray player of BV 7-40 3D I can select the following in the settings of bluray player:

1. STANDARD

2. BITSTRAM

In case 1. I get INPUT AUDIO FORMAT: PCM 7.1, OUTPUT AUDIO FORMAT: MULTICHANNEL SPEAKER 5

In case 2. I get INPUT AUDIO FORMAT: DTS 5.1, OUTPUT AUDIO FORMAT: DTS SPEAKER 5

If you want to hear HD audio format, case 1. is the way to go. Ask "Millemissen", he is the real specialist!

But I have to admit that I cannot hear a real difference...

Regards

Räuber

One other thing to keep in mind - a minor point for sure - but if you let the Blu-ray player convert the audio internally, it will include the menu sounds and any commentary in the feed automatically. Otherwise, you would have to switch settings if you use the bitstream settings. I prefer to keep it simple and let my player convert audio all the time, and still have the quality of the high quality DTS and Dolby formats converted to PCM.
