I have a new Samsung BluRay BDP1500 and the Z-5500 system.

I used the optical out on the Samsung into the control unit on the Z-5500

Samsung BluRay audio output is set to PCM

The LCD display reads Dolby PLII movie

I cant get Dolby Digital

Am I doing something wrong or do I have a faulty Z-5500 controller?

[BernieShaw]

I have found that I needed to change PCM to recompressed on the Samsung BluRay.

However, I cant figure out why the new Dark Knight wont play in Dolby Digital

Have you tried cycling though modes? I'm sure there's some way to disable Pro Logic II.

Hi Ber,

PCM will only give you PL II.

Set the output to raw or not decoded on the player.

Z-5500 will NOT decode HD 5.1.

As to decoding HD5.1 If I use an AuzenTech X-FI Hometheater HD HDMI 1.3 Sound Card with my Z-5500, will I be able to listen to DTS-HD Dolby TRUE-HD from my Bluray drive on my computer?

Hi,

If you then fed the decoded HD audio signal to the Z-5500 via the 6 channel direct analog connectors, you would have the HD audio in 5.1 surround.
