Panasonic Q Gamecube DTS?

[Shadow_Zero]

I was under the impression the Q has DTS support, but I can't seem to get it to work with my receiver...
Anyone on this?

Is the DVD you're playing actually a DTS DVD?

[Shadow_Zero]

Yup.
Tested 2 dvd's now and selected DTS in the menu, but nothing at all

[007]

Have you put it on the amp setting to detect DTS? Sometimes you have to turn it on on the actual DVD too. Aswell as on the Q too.

Humph.

[Shadow_Zero]

Turn DTS on on my Q?
How do I do that?

EDIT:
If you meant by remote, that doesn't work either. My Q says it's in DTS mode but my receiver doesn't get the signal or something...
(and yes, my receiver supports DTS)

[ThoseOfTheUnlight]

Silly question...

But you are hooking it up with an optical lead to the amp right?

[Shadow_Zero]

Yes, I don't have any trouble with Dolby Digital...

[Shadow_Zero]

Solved it.
For some reason there's an option to switch DTS on or off in the Q's internal menu (shift + preferences button on the remote to get there).

What's the difference between Bitstream and PCM?
I can choose between that for Dolby Digital.

the reason you can switch dts off in the menu is so you don't accidentally damage your amp or speakers. if you send a dts signal to an amp that can't decode the signal, you can get a very loud high pitch wailing noise from the amp which can cause damage.

i think you need to select bitstream for surround sound. i think pcm will downmix the 6 channels to 2 channel stereo, for those that don't have 5.1 compatible systems. i could be wrong on this though.
