I am using an OPPO 981 DVD player and have it connected to my Onkyo SR605 by hdmi. I have set the OPPO player's audio output to "raw", which I understand will mean that when a SD DVD has a soundtrack in DTS, the OPPO can transmit the DTS audio codex to the receiver over the hdmi cable.

However, when I play "Master and Commander" and select the DTS soundtrack, the receiver does not display the "DTS" logo, but instead displays a short form for 'multichannel pcm 5.1'.

My questions are: am I getting the soundtrack in the DTS? if not, why not?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


My Oppo manual addresses this on page 46 (980h).

Basically raw outputs the raw data and lets your processor decode DD or DTS. The other option is PCM, it down mixes to 2 channel for if you only have a stereo receiver.
