The Thing Blu Ray - U-Control Feature - No Sound

[EMcG]

Just watched 'The Thing' on Blu-Ray. Fab, of course. However, I enabled the 'U-Control' feature, which means evey now and then a picture-in-picture pops up which has the director or producer or whoever explaining something about that particular part of the film. However, whilst the picture popped up it had no sound. I had enabled the sound for picture in picture on the blu-ray menu before starting. Any ideas why no sound? My kit is a Panasonic TX-L37G10 and Panasonic SC-BT200 home cinema system. Thanks.

have you got the secondary sound turned on?

Is that the same as enabling 'picture in picture' sound on the BR menu? If so, I have that set to 'high'. If not, how do I do that? Thanks.

I encountered the same problem with a similar feature on the 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' Blu-ray. I never did get to the bottom of it, so I'm also curious if anyone has any suggestions.

Just looked online. Refer to the top half of page 22. The function works on my copy. It is a Sony player though but I can't see the disc causing any problems for you. If it works this what you will need to do for a lot of commentary style tracks.

Sorry, NSY, which 'Page 22' are you referring to? Thanks.

Had the same problem with the Matrix Trilogy.

I assume you have your bluray's audio set to direct so your amp is decoding HD audio? Reset to mixed, let the bluray decode and your have sound.

Not many discs have this set up so change setting back to direct, if you prefer once you've watched the extra

Vance,

I have an all-in-one system so now seperate amp. It automatically decodes in this case Master DTS audio. Thanks.

Thanks to you all - just found that too. It's page 21 in the UK version of the manual (and other bits on pages 35 and 38). I'll give it a go when the nipper isn't around. Not sure how he'd cope with 'The Thing' on a Sunday morning. Thanks again.

Sorry for confusion.I looked at the online manual. The Thing and kiddies.....not a good combo. My little laddy is scared of Mikey from Monsters Inc.!!!
