OK, firmware updates complete....now I have a question. When watching on HD DVD, HD DVD's always display mult chan in not matter what soundtrack is playing DD or Dolby True HD. When watching regular DVD's the IIx or whatever I'd want for processing shows up....

Just wondering why I get digital for all soundtracks on HD DVD's...any thoughts?

All HD DVD players can internally decode Dolby Digital+ and Dolby True HD and outut them as multi-channel PCM. That is what the Denon is receiving and that is why it shows multi channel in. Only the XA2 (and the Integra version), the A35 and maybe the A30 allow you to output the bitstream signal to allow the Denon to decode it. Having said that there is nothing wrong with letting the player do it.


No Signature...How boring is that!

Re: Denon AVR-3808CI: An Overview

So I think the reason why the regular Dolby soundtracks are coming in mult Chan In is that I have my HD DVD player set up to output in PCM only....when I switch it to auto I get Dolby to come up on the Denon.

Really like the sound coming from the Denon - seems to put out a better sub sound than my Yamaha did - of course that could be from the HD sound coming through in PCM format.
