Also Dalek: I provided the model of my UHD disc player a couple of posts above per your request; do you still believe it's the source of the decoding issue? As I said, everything is set to output bitstream in terms of audio...

This used to be my all-time favorite electronics brand, hands down, especially for receivers. I still own a TX-SR600 AVR (from circa 2002 or so), my first surround receiver purchase, and it powers a little music system in our gym room. Through cross-country moves and a lot of abuse (it even got...

The first generation Onkyos weren't "flawed" per se; as I said, from what I understand, this was a limitation of the chipset/processor (that it couldn't handle matrixing two-channel lossless signals being bitstreamed or process multichannel 5.1 tracks into more than that), an acceptable omission...

I totally hear ya on the broke thing; we are a single-income family right now, with only me and my freelance writing projects sustaining us. I'm not so hell-bent on getting a new receiver just for something like 4K video passthrough, as I think it's actually better to separate the audio and...

Interesting; yeah, I wouldn't need to go through all that for the few titles I own with these two-channel lossless soundtracks. I will eventually upgrade, as you said, to something more up to date with decoding for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, etc.

Yes, Josh -- that's PRECISELY what my 605 does, as well. From what I understand, this is a limitation of the processor's power, being that my particular model was the first on the market (of those that decoded the lossless formats) and that it wasn't a top-of-the-line unit. But this only...

I'm using a Panasonic DP-UB9000, connected via HDMI directly to the receiver (the second HDMI out of the player is going directly to my display), with everything set for bitstreamed audio out. Thanks for the heads up about the track differences; indeed, I was aware of the 5.1 mix's origins, as...

Ah, understood. Must be what you say; that the AVR's processor is seeing it as something OTHER than 5.1, so it defaults back to stereo... In any case, I'm going to watch the disc going forward running the 5.1 Master Audio track anyway, but I was just curious as to what this mix sounded like...

Thanks for your response, A. But why would it consider it "obscure"? I understand why the AVR sees a Master Audio 2.0 signal as "stereo" (because it doesn't have the processing power to turn that into psuedo-surround via a Pro Logic or DTS NEO system) but why would it see a four-channel mix as...

I picked up the Scream Factory Collector's Edition Blu-ray of John Carpenter's The Thing yesterday at a local buy-and-sell shop (the disc was actually new) to replace the non-anamorphic Region 1 Universal DVD I owned, and if any of you are familiar with Scream's Blu-ray of this title, there is a...
