Hi Tried DTS today… PS3 to Sony receiver (Earc pass through) to my Vizio Tv… This setup works perfect with Atmos, but with a dvd Eagles in Australia, DTS 5.1 is shown and works. When I do the same thing with a blu ray, no sound when switching to DTS on the Blu rays menu… Just like before the DTS update. Anyone got any similar experiences or ideas? Let me know.
I am not certain, but I believe the regular PS3 (as opposed to the PS3 Slim) can only decode a DTS-HD Master Audio track as LPCM. On the PS3, go to Settings > Video Settings > BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI) and set it to Linear PCM. Since your TV is equipped with eARC, this should allow you to play DTS-HD Master Audio Blu-ray discs as lossless multichannel PCM through the Arc which should be higher quality audio than DTS Digital Surround.
My Tv only has arc connection, So I think that rules out DTS Master. But like I said I get DTS 5.1 With Dvd’s , So I will try your suggestion… Thanks :)
An eARC connection is also required for multichannel PCM or Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Atmos. Are you able to get Dolby Atmos from Blu-ray discs?
Thanks, I confirmed with the Sonos techs, that PS3 does not do Dolby Digital Atmos or Dts in any form at this time. Since I do mostly streaming I can wait and see what the future brings. Also, I just have the arc bar, and am completely underwhelmed by Atmos anyway! Oh, and I am playing my Hamer guitar, and my PRS Se as we speak!
