Red face DTS & The Ultimate Mummy Collection ???

I have just got the ultimate mummy collection (4 disk box set).

A quick ?, according to the box and reviews I've read the UK version (which is what I have) has a DD & DTS soundtrack, how do I select the DTS soundtrack has I can find no settings in the menus of the disc's?

Both my DVD player an LG and my amp Marantz SR4200 can handle DTS and if I force the amp into DTS mode no sound is heard but in DD its fine, this is the first DVD I've got that has a DTS soundtrack but have been told you have to pick it of the disc menu, is this the norm?

If it has DTS then you will find it within the Language section of the menu.

I don't have the box set, but I have plenty of DTS disks and they are all switched to DTS this way. Also, some DTS tracks are selectable via the audio button on your DVD player. Can't say I've tried this, but I have read that some people can select it that way.

also make sure that your player is set to output DTS, as a lot of players disable this option as default!
