I have a Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S5100 player going into a Yamaha RX-V995 Receiver. The problem I'm having is with two new DVDs from the band, Gentle Giant. The issue seems to be that when DTS Surround Sound is selected on the receiver and DTS 5.1 Master Audio is selected on the DVD, no sound is evident. However, if I put in a normal Blu-Ray DVD (such as Melancholia), the DTS Surround sound plays without a hitch. Also, a similar album DVD (not Blu-Ray) will also play in DTS Surround.
So the problem seems to be with these two discs only. My suspicion is that they are encoded with DTS-HD, like the Pink Floyd Immersible box sets, and may not play on this receiver as it is an older receiver with only light pipe inputs and not HDMI. The discs themselves do not indicate that these are in DTS-HD, but I suspect that it might be the case. Is there any way of telling if this is, in fact, is the problem? Or might it stem from some other source?
