My LX-600 doesn't like DTS audio. Normal PCM audio is fine. Playing several known good DTS discs results in dropouts and distortions. These discs play fine through my system on other players so it is for sure a player issue. The optical cable is good and works on other players.

What can be done, if anything?

Thanks.

Sounds like the same issue sfmarine0311 is having with his McIntosh MLD-7020.

DTS Issue, receiver or rot?

If it's RF level being the issue, that may not be fixable since Panasonic players lack the ability to manually tweek it from what I recall Kurtis mentioning about it.

Thanks man, yeah I'm aware of the DTS/Digital Audio Laser sag thing. I'm hoping that isn't it and maybe just a dirty lens.

I do have the remote and the SM describes how it sort of auto calibrates things via the remote unlike how Pioneer machine are totally manual. I have yet to want to go down that road.

I'm in sort of a LD player issue whack a mole right now; 704 spindle motor replacement, CLD-99 Power Supply caps, LX600 dirty lens or bad laser, S2 #2 needs work loading, V888 side B skipping.....remind me why we like these things again
