I watched The Saint yesterday with my wife. No surround info to be heard. I gritted my teeth and didn't stop the movie to mess with stuff.
After the movie I spent half an hour going through settings on my processor, DVD player, etc before I figured out that that movie is STEREO.
Sheesh.

Can you not see on your display on the reciever that it wasn't DD or DTS?

Thing is, it would be DD on the receiver, since even mono and stereo DVDs are encoded in DD.

Any DVD that isn't outputting multichannel surround sound shows up as my default stereo mode (NEO: 6) when there is no DD (multichannel) or DTS (Multichannel) signal present.

Oh, right, My H/K does that too, shows up as DD+Neo6 or whatever.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a question along the same lines.
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.

If I had paid attention/understood what my processor display was showing me I would have known the problem. Like I said...Duh!
BTW, mine does the same as the H/K above. I have Emotiva.

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. Jeb

On the DVD there should be an option in the main menu to switch to 5.1 or 2.0

On our Oppo that can be selected for the digital output in the way that I posted up the page. You can also select which speakers that you have and it will down mix appropriately for the analog outs. ie I don't have a center channel yet so I can make the dvd player phantom the center or I can send everything to the receiver and make it do the down mix.
