Having decided to upgrade my 15 yo amp setup in order to enjoy the new audio formats, Dolby TrueHD and Master Audio, I have spent over £2000 on new Monitor Audio speakers (R45s, Radius One and RSW12, with which I am delighted), a new receiver and bluray player. The authorised dealer suggested a Panasonic BD60 and an Onkyo 607, fed by suitable HDMI and optical cables. I even paid for the dealer to fit the system however I have a problem.
Despite buying 3 new blu-ray discs, each having the new audio formats of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio (The Dark Knight (DT), Quantum of Solace (MA) and Slumdog MA)), neither of these audio formats can be played by the BD60/607 combination. I am being advised that the formats need some sort of analogue connection from the player to the receiver which is not possible. However, a test bluray disc brought by the dealer was detected by the syatem as outputting TruHD and played as such on the Onkyo. I cannot believe that MGM, Warner Borthers and 20th Century Fox do not produce discs with advanced audio formats that cannot be read by a newly released blu-ray player and a bang up-to-date receiver.
Has anyone any idea what is going wrong? I went to a reputable authorised dealer as everyone advises, to prevent this sort of problem but am still left listening to Dolby Digital, a format I had with my previous setup.
