Can't get DTS on C1

[ericst]

I just purchased a C1, and everything works fine except it does not pick up the DTS signal from my DVD player. I am playing a DTS movie set to DTS. The DVD player says it is outputing DTS 5.1. I have a 5.1 setup. There is just no sound. When I switch the DVD back to DD it works fine. The input just reads digital PCM either way, not DTS like I know it should. I am using a digital coax cable. I suspect I have old firmware (wonder if that has anything to do with it.)

Thanks for the help,

Eric

Eric, welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana:

Have you assigned the digital audio inputs? Each A/V source on the C1/C2 needs to have its corresponding audio input assigned, to tell it where to look for the sound. Next, inputs can be instructed to look and play a specific audio source, (i.e. PCM or DD), or told just to aiuto-play whatever sound format it receives. I wonder if the previous owner may have set it up a certain way, and then just left it for you.

If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend downloading the Halo setup program, to customize your C1 setup. I consider this to be a mandatory item for full use of the C1/C2. If you're going to do it, you can also do your own firmware update, if you so choose. (If you don't have the DPXIIx update, you ABSOLUTELY need it)
