I have a JVC XV-SA70BK DVD player and a Kenwood VR-509 receiver, and they sound great in 5.1 mode (DVD/6ch mode).
My question is: If I have the 5.1 connections from the DVD going to the receivers 5.1 inputs (these are analog signals, correct?) and also connect the digital coax out from the DVD to my tuner DVD coax input, and change my tuner setting from DVD/6ch to Digital-Auto, when I start a DTS DVD-audio disk playing, the receiver should automatically detect the digital signal and switch to DTS mode, right? But I get no sound unless I select the DVD/6ch input mode for the DVD on the receiver. Does 5.1 overide a digital (DTS) signal? Do I have to unplug my 5.1 connections to get a digital signal? DTS disks seem to play fine through the 5.1 connections, so is there much noticeable difference between that and a true digital signal?
