Hello, I just got a Panasonic Blu-ray player and so far everything is fine. However, today, I found Forrest Gump on BR for cheap, so I bought it. Upon trying to play the disc, I am having trouble getting it to output to regular DD 5.1, despite the box saying it supports this format.
My receiver is kinda old and only supports Dolby Digital 5.1. With default settings, I get NO sound. The audio options allow DD 5.1 but in other languages, which seems completely ridiculous. I tinkered with a few settings on the player and can get it to output to Dolby Pro Logic.
I have the Blu-ray player connected via HDMI to my Plasma TV, and then via optical to my receiver. The receiver does not have HDMI inputs.
As I said, I tinkered with some settings on the player but a lot of it was trial and error as I do not yet understand the different settings. I would really like to hear this in DD 5.1 as an improvement in picture quality yet a decrease in sound quality is simply not acceptable to me.
Am I stuck with DDPL or are there some settings I can mess with? Thanks in advance!
