Just thoroughly tested Apollo 13 and True Lies with no success. I tried switching between optical, coax, analog RCA. I tried every setting in the receiver, especially PLII as the receiver even defines that as expanding Dolby digital signals. The receiver keeps recognizing the signal as PCM still. I also tried switching the audio tracks in the DVL-700, analog 1/L, 2/R, digital 1/L, 2/R with emphasis on the analog 2/R track, but still nothing. One thing I thought was strange though was no matter which channel I selected the audio is exactly the same. Reading the directions it sounded like I should get hissing or jarbled audio or something. Also the DVL-700 said "analog 1/L only" even though it let me select 2/R. Now I'm wondering if this is just a limitation of the DVL-700? The instruction manual is heavily centered on the DVD portion of the player and most Dolby surround references are in relation to the DVD play back. I'd test my VP-1000 but I'm pretty sure it's incompatible! Ha ha |

Ahh, ok! That is incredibly helpful. I just grabbed the first two discs on top of The pile that said surround. Upon further inspection, they do say Dolby digital. True Lies specifically says AC-3 and Apollo 13 just says the surround is on the right audio track. I will keep browsing my catalog now that I have a better idea of what I'm looking for. No, I do not own any DTS discs. |

Thank you guys so much. Just got surround sound out of Days of Thunder! The PLII setting is working perfect! This is making an AC-3 decoder look much more attractive! |
