Evening, I am a bit confused by the audio capabilities. Specifically matching these three:
So yes I have been able to get 4 channels either via PCM or DD transcoding but puzzled why the DTS is not received and processed by the receiver. Would really like to understand this a bit better to see if I have everything set up ok. Was expecting it to receive DTS HDMA and then play on 4 speakers or take the "core" plain DTS from DTS HDMA and play that (as per the manual that states DTS HMDA has some kind of backwards compatibility to plain old DTS) . Really hoping someone can enlighten me.
Setup:
Marantz 1508 Manual on DTS HD Master:
- Movie with (as displayed by kodi) 6.1 DTS HDMA ES
- Kodi audio settings: I enabled everything from DD, DD Plus, DTS, TrueHD, DTS-HD
- Marantz 1508 receiver supporting Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master (not DTS:X)
