Got my new bluray player today hooked it up via HDMI. Right now I only have 2 M22s and a EP175 sub but none of the blurays I played came through the sub only the 2 front speakers. My cable is hooked up hdmi and it comes through the sub.

Do you have the sub Coax cable hooked form the Subwoofer Out on your receiver to the LineIn jack on the sub?

Sounds like one o' them bitstream vs. pcm thingies.


That was helpful, wasn't it.

Sub is hooked up right and works fine with the cable box and my xbox all hooked up with HDMI. My sherwood R772 receiver doesnt go into surround mode or even give me the choice of anything but stereo. But the receiver does for everything else. This is how it treated my cd player but that was because it was just stereo in left and right channels. Strange because my PS3s bluray played through the sub and it was through HDMI.

Hi! th3at3rguy.

Can you tell us what your receiver displays when watching a blu-ray movie? Do you get any LFE from the subwoofer when listening to 2.1 channel music? Have you gone through any of the setup menus in the OPPO and/or the receiver?

Hey look, Mark learned how to log in as Ken.

LOL....

<runs away crying>

When playing a bluray the oppo player says its in 5.1 but my receiver is putting it in 2ch down mix and it wont let me put it in anything else. It doesnt do that with my PS3 or my xbox or my cable box I sure hope that once I get the center and 2 surrounds it doesnt do that. I do have a set of 5.1 direct input audio cables but HDMI should work any other ideas.

As Ken mentioned, is it outputting bitstream or PCM? With that receiver, the OPPO should be decoding and sending it as PCM, right? I would look at the audio settings of your OPPO.
