Re: Can Someone Please Finally Tell Me What Is Going On Here?


As it's been explained to you over at AVS you can only get DTS core from the DTS HD MA tracks.

Actually, it had been explained to many people over there, but there is still a great deal of confusion because others are still chiming in that Panasonic loaded this machine from the factory with some kind of HD playback enhancement and they're arguing an HD element is coming into play on MA tracks somwhere; indeed, I am believing your sentiments at this point.

There are DTS HD HR tracks [not on the same disc or embeded intp MA] which are still lossy can be decoded by your player.

And I suppose that's why I will listen to your advice on this one.

Ther are only a handful of titles of movies that feature DTS HD HR option. Do search with AVS member "benes" to find his thread that lists those movies.

So, another words, DTS HD Master Audio is different -- completely -- from DTS HD High Resolution Audio?

With those limited titles you need to use the PCM option, since the player can't bitstream those.

Okay, so if I come across a rare title with DTS HD High Resolution Audio, I should run those tracks via PCM under the Panasonic's DTS HD audio output setup; I understand this, as, of course it can't bitstream those...but it STILL continues to bug me that the onscreen display reads "DTS-HD" when I play Master Audio tracks on this machine -- it is completely misleading.

I meant 80hz and above.

I was informed that I can -- and probably should -- keep this LPF of LFE setting on the brickwalled 120 option to get the full spectrum of the LFE channel....do you agree?

Ask Panasonic............

Ummmm....okay....never really amounted to much of anything when I tried, but....
