Re: EP35 What i'm i doing wrong ?

the settings are ..






Audio settings for the Ep-35 are:

Digital Out SPDIF: Bitstream
Digital Out HDMI: Auto
Direct Digital Audio Mode: Off
Dynamic Range Control: Auto
Dialogue Enhancement: Off

Settings on Onkyo 605:

HDMI Monitor: Yes
Last Mode Preset: all set at last valid.

i still can't get the Onkyo to light up true hd , stange as i have just tried it again with letters from Iwo Jima (fine a few weeks back) and it now just says PCM Multi channel

Re: EP35 What i'm i doing wrong ?

I think you may need the latest firmware:

"A firmware update for the TX-SR605 is now available through Onkyo’s Independent Regional Service Centers. "

This update will address the product’s ability to decode the Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD High Resolution and Master Audio bit stream signals.

Hope that helps.

I think "Direct Digital Audio Mode" should be set to On.

Yep, 'Direct Digital Audio Mode' needs to be set to 'ON'. And set the 'Dynamic Range Control' to 'OFF' otherwise it may sound rather strained.
