Hello all and please help! I am an amateur here and have posted this in other spots but not getting any help. Yes I have read through pages of this stuff but still not sure if I am grasping it. Thought a direct answer would help.
I have the BDP S360 blu ray. My Yamaha v550 amp does not connect via HDMI. I know my s360 decodes True HD and DTS-MA but won't do me any good here correct?
Anyway I am connecting to my receiver via Optical toslink. What is the best setup for me downmix pcm's or set it to DD and DTS. I assume downmix is wrong but want to make sure.
another thing with my receiver(amp). It is a 6.1 surround receiver and I have the 6th speaker connected. If you are familiar with yamaha you would know that there is a light indicator in the bottom right corner of the display which indicates the speaker output being used at the time (L/R stereo, 5.1, or 6.1). No matter what I set it to the SB(surround back) light never turns on??? I change many settings and it will not activate. However I hear the SB speaker working. The only time I have ever seen the SB light on is during the THX surround sound test at the beginning of star wars revenge of sith. The DVD says it is 6.1 audio on the cover. once the movie begins... the SB light turns off. Is this weird? Am I doing something wrong.
I know it is an old receiver but it does do a good job. Can someone help me out.
