Here's a strange one...
Today I was rummaging through some old CDs and came across two DTS CDs and threw one into my DV88+ for a quick play.
It doesn't play the way it should - i.e. the way it used to play with my previous DVD player and the one before that.
My AV amp, a Yamaha DSPA5, doesn't show "DTS Surround" - instead it shows "Pro Logic" (which usually means it is getting a stereo signal) and sure enough I get a muffled version of the CD, coming mainly from front and centre.
I tried adjusting the audio output settings on the DV88+, ie bitstream/PCM, 96k vs 48k - no change. Tried the other DTS CD and got the same Pro Logic output.
Just to make sure I wasn't imagining things I transferred the digital coax cable from DV88+ to my CD player, a CD72T, and played it there. This worked fine, the amp showing DTS and all channels present and correct.
BTW firmware versions are 3.0.0/LT76.
I guess I have two questions:
(1) has anyone else tried one of these CDs in a DV88+? Did it work?
(2) how come I am getting Pro Logic out of the DV88+? Surely the CD contains a DTS stream only and the player cannot decode it. I would expect the amp to see DTS, or nothing. Where is the stereo signal coming from? Very weird!
Thanks
