Just wondering about using the SPDIF optical out so I can get DD5.1. If I plug my DS into an amp then does the DS automatically mute the HDMI audio? There doesn't seem to be an option for this in the setup.
Boogersa said:Thanks. Found it. I notice that to upgrade the firmware is different to the method covered in the manual. I upgraded to latest version following the method in the manual - using the front usb socket - and I don't remember having any issues. I take it that both methods for upgrading are valid?
No option to mute HDMI.
I just select as appropriate with my old Nakamichi Amp - Apparently new Amps have setup options to choose the input to associate with an HDMI passed through them ! !! !!!!

Do you have the HDMI connected into an AV amp to provide video switching? If so, then you should be able to adjust the setup of the AV amp so that input takes sound from the optical input rather than the HDMI input and you won't have any issue then.
If you run HDMI direct into the TV and optical to the amp, I think your only option is to turn down the sound on the TV.
EDIT - too late again!
Ta, I don't think I'll bother then. My amp only has phono and optical connectivity (no hdmi) so I'd have to mute the TV every time I wanted to watch something with the audio running through the amp.... might be a good excuse to upgrade the amp though
"The next update" was mentioned earlier - is there any news as to when this is likely to surface? As I recall, when 4.02 was being slated for release as the EoN ("End of November" for any newcomers) update, the next update after that (the one which would have more wishlist items in it) was being referred to as the EoD (End of December) update - later put back to EoJ with the delays to 4.02
Are we still looking at EoJ, or will it be EoF?
Ratchet ,
I e-mailed MIT on sunday but no reply as yet, described the symptoms so hopefully another e-mail will help.
No joy on craigkelly would not allow me to choose the slightly weaker signal
Re the Blackhill tuning problem, I have decided to leave well alone,and ignore the re-tune.However,I have done my Humax with no problems,and wonder if this is purely a conflict with the DS,or if I am just lucky. I am a bit afraid to find out which is the case by retuning the DS,so wonder if anyone else has similar equipment to compare.
Thanks for the update. That's 3 of us reported the problem to them now so hopefully they will take notice.
Anyone else think these threads are being closed far too quickly? Nothing wrong with a long established -and maturing- thread. Also, it means links work and can be updated which is usually a good thing on the Internet.
Blackhill
I had that problem with the Humax 9200 a few weeks back -nightmare it was. No such problem with my DS though.
Correct me if i'm wrong, But I think Pete did mention End of February unless this has changed.
Are you sure it was the same problem, STV+1 only launched last week (11th).
Hi
It was a problem caused by a previous forced re-tune that I think affected all channels. Channels becoming stored in a random order I believe ! Only affected one transmitter and one make/model. Karlin will have more details.
