Not exactly sure if this is the right place to ask.
New Sony amp, new Sony BR player, old PS3.
Other items too in the amp, let concentrate on the BR and PS3.
Use the amp for a HDMI switch also, so the BR / PS3 go into there via inputs on back of the amp.
They all appear to work sweetly together, except for one thing.
I cannot get the amp to display Dolby Digital or DTS sound - it just comes up saying LPCM when playing back either BR or PS3. Not knowing really what LPCM is, but I thought that HDMI could transfer the DD or DTS sound via that cable?
If I plug in an optical cable, I can get DD or DTS to appear, but only when the HDMI cable is NOT plugged in. Plug in HDMI and the amp takes the sound from the HDMI and no DD / DTS displayed - just LPCM
LPCM does not sound as surround "active" to me - and really want to hear the DD or DTS - see it come up on amp.
So, can the HDMI transfer DD / DTS - any tips on what am doing wrong???
