basically i have 7.1 setup with marrantz SR 6012 with pioneer blu ray player BDP-120I've found that often when playing files, the receiver/processor won't lock onto an HD soundtrack, so you get video and no audio. The solution I've found is to switch to a different soundtrack, then back to the Atmos one. I don't know what you do if there isn't another soundtrack. Also, if the previous file you played was Atmos, it seems to be more likely to lock onto the Atmos soundtrack.
All I can figure is that discs have some kind of flag that signals the processor, which seems to be missing in files.
thanks for the information. i read somewhere that mkv fromat is not supported for atmosWell, I explained what I have found to be a workaround. I guess you can take it or leave it. I'm also using a Marantz. In this case an AV7703 preamp. Maybe it is just Atmos soundtracks, not all HD ones. It's been a while since I did that. When I switch to a different soundtrack, let it lock on, then back to the Atmos in the players audio menu, it always works. Then I can start the file again.
It is. I don't know about the player, but I play MKVs with Atmos all the time.thanks for the information. i read somewhere that mkv fromat is not supported for atmos

the player plays atmos when played via a blu ray cd but when i play a dolby video from USB i dont get any sound
i get dts hd via USB. when its atmos i get no sound
A variable I wasn't considering. I use an Oppo BDP-103 for MKV files. I do have a Panasonic UB-820 as well, so I might just try it to see if it works. I don't have a Pioneer to compare with.This would require bitstreaming, which is not supported over USB on Panasonic players.
so the fault is with the blu ray player?It is. I don't know about the player, but I play MKVs with Atmos all the time.
MKV is just a container for the file. It doesn't tell you all that much about what is in the container.
i just need to upgrade my player nthn can be done?This would require bitstreaming, which is not supported over USB on Panasonic players.
If your goal is to play Atmos content through USB then I believe that is the case. Does your particular player have a 2nd USB port on the rear? If so, maybe give that a try. Like @JohnRice , I'll see how my Panny 820 handles this later tonight and report back.i just need to upgrade my player nthn can be done?
i actually downloaded the dolby atmos demo videos . they dont have a second audiotrack so thats an issue. it will be helpful if you tell me a website from where i can download atmos demo videos and give it a tryI tell you what, the intricacies of what files which player can play can be infuriating.
Have you tried my solution? Because that was happening with an Oppo player, which plays everything under the sun. I mean, if you'd rather buy a new player than at least try it.
Maybe I'll give it a try with the Panasonic, just to see...
yup it does. I tried it i still dont get audio if its atmos.If your goal is to play Atmos content through USB then I believe that is the case.
