Onkyo + Sony Blu-ray not picking up DTS or DD

I can't seem to get my any Blu-ray to play in DTS or DD. It plays in DTS Neo 6. or PCM. Everything is hooked up HDMI. I'm lost in this.

Specify your model #s. You have to set the audio output priority on the Sony setup menu to HDMI. And for the BD-audio setting use "direct" rather than "mix" if you want to bitstream DTS-HD/TrueHD/DD+ and have the receiver decode. Otherwise the Sony will decode and you get multi-ch PCM on the Onkyo.

If you hit the "listening mode movie/TV" button you should be able to cycle out of Neo 6.

Does it still say "PCM"?

You have absolutely nothing other than HDMI connected?

Also specify exactly which Blu-ray discs you are testing with.

The Onkyo displays the listening mode on the main screen. You have to push display a few times to see what is actually being sent. Also, go into your "listening mode presets" and change each one for your input. If you want DTS to display DTS, you have to set it there.

Listening mode preset is optional. It just sets a default mode when you switch to that input, otherwise it just uses the last one used. Hitting the listening mode button will still cycle through various modes, the preset just controls what mode it starts out in.

I know on my Integra I had to go into the menu and turn off HDMI Audio Out so it would pass the DTS MA or the DD True signal.

I changed it to direct in the Listening mode instead of last valid. then i saw a setting for dd & dts instead now its working with either mode. i just don't know if i have to change all the listing mode settings for every channel. It seems a bit much just to get this thing functioning right.
