hardly anything coming from rear speakers when watching a bluray..

[Tiger]

when im watching a dvd or a sky movie with 5.1 my rear speakers are alive but when i watch a blu ray in the same player my rears are almost non existent anyone got any ideas what could be up? im guessing its the way the tru hd soundtrack is being compressed/converted to play on my non tru hd receiver?

anyway to get better results?

cheers

ps: my setup is a yamaha rx v100 d receiver, bose acoustimass 10 and a samsung bd1500 blu ray player

it wont be doing the tru hd track if your amp cant decone it or are you sending it lpcm

it should still sound good via dolby digital 5.1 or dts, whatever track is on the disk as well as truehd. i cant notice a massive amount of difference when i switch from optical dolby 5.1 to the truehd track via hdmi

im not sure what that means mcbunny, is that a setting in the blu ray player? it does sound ok theres just hardly anything coming out the rears compared to a normal dvd with a dd 5.1 track.

i wish on blu ray discs there was a choice between normal dd 5.1 and tru hd as this would solve my problem and i would be happy

there is......... htye will always have a dd 5.1 or dts track as well as dthd or dtshd track.

is there anything at all coming fom the rears?

there is slight sound but very little, as i said this is only with blu ray, dvd and sky are fine. most blu rays i have watched only have tru hd option in the settings, the rest are foreign or descriptive audio, never usually see a standard dolby or dts 5.1
