I have a Pioneer VSX-AX5i AV amp. I have the following gear connected for audio input:
- Sony Blu Ray player by digital co-axial
- Phillips Blu Ray player by digital co-axial
- XBox360 by digital optical
- Samsung LCD TV by digital optical
Tonight I attached a new centre speaker and recalibrated the system using the Auto Surround Setup function.
Something bizarre then happened. Put in The Artist Blu Ray and hit Play Film (only one audio option - a DTS track) and got no sound. Got sound from the menus and bonus features but not from the movie. Put in another disc of Billy Joel Live at Shea Stadium and could get both PCM stereo and PCM surround tracks to play, but silence when choosing the Dolby Digital surround option.
So it seems I can only get PCM audio from my Sony player - the DTS and Dolby Digital tracks will not play. Checked the settings on the Sony (even though I hadn't touched them) and it is set to output both DD and DTS via the co-axial. Audio on all the other connected components is fine.
Help me guys!
