Hey, nice setup, Ted. The color works. I can't wait to see it with the new speakers.

Theo,

glad you like your Emotiva products.

I'm curious to know if you have experienced the DTS NEO:6 and DD mode switching issues that I have with the LMC-1.

Only quirk has been that although my Toshiba HD DVD is outputting Toslink-Bitstream w\ DD+ (most HD DVD audio formats), the LCM-1 calls it [ DTS 3\2 + LFE 48K ]...but no problem, it Still Sounds Awesome!!!

My Direct TV Satelite always displays DPL II on the LCM, also sounds great!

Have yet to try any audio 2-channel upconversion through DTS NEO:6!?

Again, I'm an ancient "Stereo" nut from back 3 centuries (or is that decades, I always forget), so my experience w\ DD or DTS surround audio is very limited...Still have much to learn...just hope I have the Time!!

If you have the first generation Toshiba HD-DVD players, I believe this is typical of the player, and not the Emotiva. The player was transcoding the DD+ to DTS 1.5kbps.

I have the 2nd generation Toshiba A2 HD-DVD, but the DTS 3\2 + LFE 48K (if that is a transcode of the DD+) showing on the LCM still sounds fantastic..not really worried!!

Theo,

the DD bug is as follows:

If you are receiving a DD 5.1 source, and you are pressing the Dolby button on your remote to switch through DD modes, it gets stuck at PLII Movie.

If you are receiving a 2.0 feed, it gets stuck at AC-3.

To continue switching, you must go into the Mode Select menu.

For DTS, I have only noticed the bug to be with DTS 5.1 sources. I have never tried upconverting a 2.0 source, as I have no DTS 2.0 sources. Mind you, I have some Pink Floyd in 4.0, I'll give that a try.


If you are or are not having these bugs, I'd be really curious to know. In fact, so would Emotiva, as they are working on fixing them.

Thanks Ted,

Ravi.

Hello Ravi,

At this time, my DD 5.1 sources (via HD DVD) flash the LMC display as a DTS 3\2 + LFE 48K code, then shows "DTS"! When I press the remote Dolby button, it flashes "N\A", then reverts back to that DTS code! I may have to upload the latest firmware to my Toshiba A2 player.

On All of my Direct TV HD\SD feeds, I can select any of the DD matrixes...Movie, Music, Matrix, Virtual, 3 Ch...and the LMC powers up on the previous choice! Also on the satelite feed, I can choose DTS NEO6 C6, and that sticks when power cycling!

When playing Stereo CD's (on the HD-DVD), the LCM still allows me to select the DD matrixes (any of the 5) or DTS NEO6 decoding. My previous setting selection also remains after a LMC power down\up sequence!

Hope this helps!?

Ted
