this weekend i watched Adaptation, and the audio setup menu had 3 choices:
Dolby Digital
Dolby DTS
Dolby Surround
it's weird, because both my receiver and dvd player support DTS. the Adaptation DVD menu has the option for Dolby DTS, but when the movie starts playing after i select that option, the DTS light on my receiver doesn't come on...only the "digital" light. the receiver is a Denon AVR-2802, by the way
basically, when i select Dolby Digital - the movie plays in Dolby Digital, and that's my only option...which seems normal
when i select Dolby DTS, the movie plays and my only sound options are selecting between Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 (and i only have a 5.1 set up, so i don't know if there's even a point to using this DTS Neo:6 setting)
shouldn't the receiver tell me that there's a DTS signal if the DVD has DTS as an audio option?? Also, is Dolby Digital generally the best method to watch movies with, as opposed to Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 (which i think of only for a 6.1 setup). little clarification would be awesome.
"bitstream" is also set as my DVD player default
