I am a new forum user, greetings to everyone. I recently bought a Z9x8k mainly to use it with my audio collection, but I noticed that it does not read multichannel DTS when set to Raw; instradar, when set to Auto it turns them into stereo. The same thing happens with a dvd. I have a Bose smart ultra connected to the Sony TV with HDMI eARC and the player to the TV in HDMI. With the same configuration with the Dune hd homatic box r 4k plus the multichannel DTS was regularly read so I wonder if I am wrong configuration or it is not supported. Can you give me any advice? thanks
Audio settings work like this: 1. Auto - this sends an audio stream according to the received EDID - so if the EDID allows DTS, then a DTS bitstream is sent, if not it's converted to LPCM stereo etc. 2. RAW - this sends the raw bitstream regardless of what the EDID says - so if a file is DTS, or AC3, or DTS-HD, or TrueHD etc etc then that is what is sent - the raw bitstream. 3. LPCM Stereo - all content is converted to LPCM stereo. Set it to "Auto" unless you're sure you know what you're doing and know what your EDID allows. There is a bug (I just found out about) where DTS 5.1 and AC3 5.1 in DVD ISO get converted to PCM 5.1 - but for any content other than DVD ISO, audio codecs are handled correctly.
