Onkyo 606 says PCM not DTS-HD-MA (1 Viewer)

[ted cruz]

I just bought the Onkyo TX-SR606. It's connected to the Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player via HDMI 1.3b cable. I watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I selected DTS-HD Master Audio on the Sony. However, the Onkyo displayed the signal as "Multi Channel PCM", not DTSHD-MA. A previous thread suggested hitting the display button several times. It still said Multi Channel PCM. I selected "Movie/TV" as the listening mode. It still said Multi Channel PCM. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I looked up your BD player. It is capable of on board decoding of DTS-HD. It sounds like your BD player is doing the the heavy lifting rather than your AVR. That's not a problem, as it'll sound the same either way.
