[admin_exported]

I want someone to tell me in simple english how i make sure my Receiver Denon 2310 is Decoding the True HD sound and not the Blu-ray player ( Pioneer 320 )

Can someone explain what i need to turn off and check ect .

Set the blu ray player to bitstream (will tell you in manual).......the Denon will show True hd/masterHd etc on the display if the blu ray is set to bitstream......

Have a look.......let me know.....

Page 38 - 'HDMI audio out'.

I think one of those settings will get you where you want to go.....

Your saying set it to bitstream but i dont see this option anywhere in the menu 🙁

If i go to HDMI Audio out it says Auto / PCM / Off

Audio out is on DTS Downmix / Stereo

On the amp i am getting True HD Glowing up in Blu. so does this mean the Receiver is decoding the sound ?

Does the Denon display say truehd/masterhd or PCM multichannel?

Must do - if your Blu-Ray player was decoding onboard to PCM, the amp wouldn't be able to tell it was originally a TrueHD signal. If it's detecting a TrueHD signal, the Blu-Ray player must therefore be bitstreaming the audio.

ok cool , So if my Amp is saying True HD then the amp is decoding , so am i right in saying if my amp says Multi ch in then the Blu-ray player is decoding ?

Im still getting the sound Delay this is why i wanted to try them both and see if it fixed the problem , I will upgrade my HDMI leads and see if that helps . if i cant fix it then ill just get denon Blu-ray player instead 🙂 ill keep playing around with it . Cheers for the help guys with knowing whats decoding what 🙂 x

Yes, that is correct. If your Denon A/V Receiver shows "Dolby True HD", "DTS-HD Master", etc, then yes, your Denon A/V Receiver is receiving bitstreamed audio data from your Pioneer Blu-ray Disc Player.

If, however, your Denon A/V Receiver shows "LPCM" or "Multich Input" or "PCM", then your Pioneer Blu-ray Player is decoding and sending decoded audio information to your Denon A/V Receiver.

In terms of lip-synching issues, have you done the automatic calibration/set-up on your Denon? If you have and it is still an issue, use a tape measure and manually in-put speaker distances to your main listening position.

If all your components are hdmi 1.3 compatible and all your hdmi cables are the same, the lip sync should be automatic.
