·I watched Hellboy 2 the other night, DTS-HD 7.1 encoded on the blu-ray disk. I have a 7.1 set-up. I'm bitstreaming the audio to my receiver ex Panasonic BD30k with the secondary audio off. On my receiver speaker display, the "S" is not illuminated. How do I know for sure that I'm decoding 7.1 audio on my receiver? There is audio ex the surround back but this would be matrix. The matrix is off as surround is set to AUTO. Below is what states in the manual about 7.1 with only a 5.1 speaker set up, I could not find anything else.
Manual
When this unit is decoding a Dolby True HD signal,
the status of the input signal is displayed, depending
on the number of speaker channels being used.
The "S" indicator is not illuminated when a 7.1-
channel signal is input to a 5.1-channel speaker system
with L, C, R, SL, SR, and SW.
I also have a PS3 which I then tried. Because PS3 doesn't bitstream, I set the PS3 to PCM. Over PCM the receiver displays MULT-CH 7.1 with the 'S' illuminated. This would be the PS3 decoding and not the receiver.
I would like my Marantz to decode the audio and not the player. I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this?
All firmware is up to date.
Thanks
