DTS-HD Support: Sony A80K + Panasonic UB820 + Sonos Arc

Hi all,

On Friday I ordered the Sonos Arc but quickly called the store to cancel my order when I found out that DTS-HD was not supported, however on doing more research it appears there are ways to get DTS-HD content playing via PCM. It's shame, as the Sonos Arc is almost perfect for my needs except for this one key omission. What I want to know is - how would I go about getting the DTS-HD support via PCM? Does anyone here have a Sony TV, Panasonic Player and Sonos Arc who has achieved this? If possible, I'd like to still get the Arc if I can make it work for my setup. I have until Monday to decide on the order, so I hope there is an option.

I'm not too bothered about DTS:X, most of my 4K discs have Atmos support. It's just my 1080p Blu-ray collection that is 90% DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.

Seen a few posts on this already, but they are all related to LG TVs.

Thank you in advanced for your help,

- Alex

Set your TV to these settings:

eARC: Auto

Digital Audio Out: Auto 1

Dolby Digital Plus Output: Dolby Digital Plus

Pass Through Mode: Auto

 

Set the UB820 Digital Audio Output to these settings:

And set Dynamic Range Compression to Off.
