I would not say its a Denon and Pioneer Elite problem as MarkA who has a Panasonic DMP-BD10A and an Onkyo SR-605 is having problems as well.
Covered as to the reasons why above. The Onkyo isn't the issue. The BD10a can't output 7.1 DTS MA. That's the issue.

For those that can output 7.1 DTS MA and have a Pioneer Elite/Denon receiver that can decode it, they are having issues.

If for some reason it is a issue with the Denon it will only be a matter of time before they fix it with a firmware update. And that can be done via the ethernet connection on the Denon. I would rather own the Denon as there is no way I will place a Onkyo receiver in my home theater! I might consider a Onkyo rebadged HD-DVD player but not a Onkyo receiver.

Thanks so much for the information, it's really appreciated!
I wonder if Panasonic would ever have a firmware upgrade which would add
the DTS HD Master Audio?

Hey MarkA,

Is your Panasonic use HDMI 1.2 or 1.3? If it is not a 1.3 player then my guess is that there can be no DTS-HD MA firmware update. If it is 1.3 than there is a chance unless I am mistaken.

I don't see anywhere in the manual whether it is 1.2 or 1.3.
I sure hope it's the latter!

It's 1.2
I don't think the hdmi version is the problem. This is simply a chip/horsepower issue. This is why I don't think Panasonic will release a firmware.

Well, I played "War" on my 3808CI through my BDP-S1 and the input signals came across in 7.1 (speaker display on the left side) and was output as 7.1. For what ever reason when I purchased Pan's I bought the BD version (don't think BB had the HD version in stock) so I can not comment on the inputting signal due to the BDP-S1 not being able to bitstream so it just pulls the DTS core track. I've been thinking about going ahead and purchasing the HD-DVD of Pan's to see how it will decode through my XA2 but just not sure I wanna spend another $30 just to verify what everyone else is stating. Like many others, I'm waiting to purchase a new BD player as soon as Denon releases it.
