Hi,
Sounds like your player is decoding the sound onboard and sending it to the amp - if you change settings on the player to allow the amp to decode, you'll light up the TrueHD/DTSHD lights.
What you are listening to is still HD sound though.

2 things worth mentioning here:
First of all, the Yammy 2600 doesn't have onboard decoding for any of the new HD Audio formats, so there won't be any lights to illuminate ! The player is doing the decoding, and sending it to the Yammy as Linear/Multichannel PCM which the AVR will happily receive.
Secondly, have you got a 1080p display, and if so are you sending your video to the Yamaha first or straight to your display ?
I ask this, as the 2600 will not pass through 1080p video signals - which means that you're not watching your BD's at full 1080p resolution.

...of course - this is another good point!! Teach me for answering without checking specs of equipment!! Lol.

Force yes i have a full 1080p 24fps picture through the Yamaha if you set your blu ray player to force the signal it displays true 1080p

Strange. My 2600 can't even if I try to force it ? Though I have heard reports of some later 2600 units being able to ? Weird eh !

Yea i have read they updated the firmware in the later units as alot of people kicked a fuss when they found out it only did 1080i
