With regard to your comments about compressed/over processed audio, I think you may have arrived at the stage I was nearly two years ago. if you did the same by comparing DTS digitally compared to MLP by analogue you should hear the difference in a similar way to comparing a DD track to DTS It sounds like you are listening to the DD or DTS tracks and switching between digital and analogue and that's the difference you are hearing. as MLP takes up a lot of space it's maybe been removed usually when people copy discs they remove certain things like extras and foriegn audio tracks to fit on a single layer disc. If your disc is a copy, it might not have the MLP audio track.

DTS and DD have a much lower bitrate that can be carried by optical and coax You can't output the 5.1 MLP digitally by optical or coaxil simply because the lossless format involves a much higher bitrate as it's lossless and either 48k or 96k, the hardware capabilities of amps and dvd players weren't designed to need to carry that much higher bitrate. you can play dts and dd on a standard dvd player, dvda disc usually include that so people without dvda players can still hear the 5.1 mix, but to hear the lossless MLP audio you have to set the disc to the right setting and your amp/dvd player to the analogue channelsĪll dvd players with hmdi will carry audio, but most will only carry stereo audio, it's the later hdmi standard (1.1 or 1.2 i think) that allows sacd via hdmi and then 1.3 or something that allows dvda carried by hdmi. dts and dd are compressed formats like mp3 and MLP is lossless like cd or flac.

Proper full dvda isn't DTS or DD, it's MLP. I dont understand why I cant to be honest, but if thats the way it is, then bummer, but it cant be helped I guess. So I was hoping to use it that way with the Doors too. I also have the DVD player plugged into the SR4400 via some pretty cheap 5.1 phono cables, but the Beatles album really does sound so, so much - Reply to Topicbetter via Co-ax than the 5.1 phonos. There is an option for the DVD player to send audio via HDMI, not sure if that includes DVD-A audio though, besides, the SR4400 doesnt support HDMI, so Im stuck there. But the amp picks up either DTS or DD accordingly, as set in the disc menu. Very disapointed overall though after being blown away by that Beatles effort.Įdit: should have mentioned that the Beatles album I have is a copy, albeit an image file copy to try out the DVD-A in the first place. That or Ive really got my wires crossed somewhere. It soundss to me that the old SR4400 decoder is a lot better than the DV6600s. Only other option is upgrading the admittedly entry level DV6600 DVD/A player. Ill try some better quality phono cables on the 5.1 output/input, and see if that keeps me happy. I also have the DVD player plugged into the SR4400 via some pretty cheap 5.1 phono cables, but the Beatles album really does sound so, so much better via Co-ax than the 5.1 phonos. The only other DVD-A I own is The Beatles - Love album, and that works just fine, very fine in fact in either DTS or DD 5.1. It sounds better in Enhanced Stereo, but I want the surround sound.Īny thoughts on what the problem might be? Im ready to throw the whole lot out of the window right now.Īs a sidenote - shouldnt I also have the option of either DTS or DD too? Starting to think Ive been sold a very convincing rip-off. But no, it simply sees a PCM signal and outputs what sounds like just the 2 stereo front speakers of a surround signal, if that makes sense. So, obviously I opt for the surround option. The options that the disc brings up in the Setup menu are either "Advanced Resolution Surround Sound" or "Advanced Resolution Stereo". Now whether I set the DV6600 to "Bitstream output" (correct I believe) or "PCM output" (incorrect I believe) the SR4400 refuses to recognise the signal as being anything other than Stereo PCM.

I have a Marantz DV6600 plugged into a Marantz SR4400 via a Coaxial Digital cable. can i buggery get it work in surround sound. Ive just recieved my Doors - Perception Boxset.
