Please add full DTS support! None of my Blu-ray movies sound good because of your lack of support. Most of the movies I have only support DTS. Anyone else interested? Please like this post

    Not all BluRay players have that option sadly.

     

    come on Sonos, you amongst the costliest sound bar  ( arc ) + sub + 2 one SL set up out there.

     

    otherwise JBL 9.1 does all DTS and Dolby formats in LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE ! 
     

    Why are you mugging us off ?

    Most Blu-ray players have this option, so the lack of DTS support is no longer a problem for the majority of Sonos Arc owners. Because of this, don’t expect Sonos to support DTS audio anytime soon.


    Mine does not and I know quite a few which dont. Even if most blu ray players do have this option, do you expect everyone to keep switching between PCM and passthrough every time ? DTS is here to stay for good. Also very crutially, if anyone is using LPCM for Atmos/DTS:X you are never getting the entire experience of front and upwards hitting speakers.

    Its a shame that most people including myself tend to take for granted that such a premier brand like Sonos would support all major formats by default, only to be dissappointed when they insert their first blue ray dts movie, and there is no audio.

    What model Blu-ray player do you have?

    I have an old Sony Blu-ray player from 2007 and a Panasonic 4K UHD player. They both allow me to set separate audio settings for Dolby audio and for DTS audio. Dolby is set to bitstream and DTS is set to PCM. I get Dolby TrueHD/Atmos from all of my Dolby-encoded discs and multi-channel LPCM from all of my DTS-encoded discs playing through the Arc without having to switch anything.

      How exactly are you doing this?  I have a Panasonic 4K UHD player the ub820 and no matter what settings I use in that digital audio output section of the settings it always pays back Stereo 2.0.  And yes my Sonos Arc is updated with the latest firmware that included the multichannel LPCM update.

      @darkonex I can do it because of the Arcana. See my response to you in the other thread.
