You may have tried this. When you start the War of the Worlds DVD, you should see a "menu" screen for the disc itself (not the DVD player). Quote:
Thanks, you are the second person to mention this. However, my post did mentioned that I choose DTS from the DVD but I probably didn't word it clearly enough.
In any case, the problem was indeed in my DVD player settings as per my last post but I do appreciate the help regardless.

I'm not sure what PCM was (I might even be forgetting the proper acronym as I didn't sleep much with all that music blaring, LOL.)
Pulse Code Modulation.
Still not as much of a mouthful as Microsoft's compressed audio format: MSADPCM - MicroSoft Adaptive Delta Pulse Code Modulation.
Where's my Listerine!?!

Andrew, good you got it. Yes, PCM is Pulse Code Modulation(that explains everything, right?). Well, a bit(intended)oversimplified, but adequate in this context, Bitstream means digital multichannel information and PCM means digital stereo; the two are both digital, but are encoded differently. So, if the player was set to send PCM stereo, but the receiver was trying to find and decode Bitstream multichannel, nothing resulted.
Elaborating on the DPLIIx point, DPLII is used to extract natural ambience from two channel material and steer it to side and back(if present)surrounds, where it belongs. If the material is five channel, DPLIIx is in effect and the three front channels are unaffected. The side surround channels discretely already contain the surround information and DPLIIx processes them to extract the information which should image in back, sending it to the back surround speakers in "stereo" form.

And to complicate things further, HD dvd introduces lossless multi channel PCM. I can't tell you a damn thing about it because I don't understand any of it.....But that you need HDMI to hear it. I can't get mine to work, but I hear it sounds great. I hate HDMI. < I think I'm gunna make a signature out of that.

Thanks everyone. You guys rock!
Unless, of course, your more of a classical kind of person.
Then you ummm, well then You Bach!
Sorry, that was really bad, I know.

I would have gone with Rach (...maninoff), myself.
