Need Help...Another DTS Drop Out!
Hello all, I have searched high and low going back to 1999 with some posts on this topic. Haven't seen anything since so when this has happened to me maybe any one of you can help me.
Ok, here is goes…I have a Yamaha HTR-5760 which is a 7.1 HTX system and a Onkyo DV-CP701 DVD player. Both are about a year old so they are up to date with DTS-ES Discrete. I have been using the Yamaha for only 2 ch with intentions when I bought it to setup HTX. Well now a year later I have done that, however, the problem I came across was when I was watching “Rush Hour 2”. This movie is encoded with DTS-ES Discrete and I wanted to test out the system with it. At the beginning of seen two is when I noticed the drop outs. It shows on the Yamaha as the lcd switching to matrix and then back to discrete then to pcm then all the channels going out then coming back. Just a lot of chaos. I can play any other encoding without any problems but just not the DTS.
So far with my troubleshooting I have changed every setting around on the Yamaha and the Onkyo…Nothing. I had a plain RCA audio cable from the digital coax out from the Onkyo to the Yamaha. I changed to fiber and digital coax, tried both…Nothing. I rented Rush Hour 2 just to make sure it wasn’t a bad DVD….nothing. I have switched out the Onkyo DVD player to a Sony….nothing. Well that leaves the Yamaha. I just don’t get it how the receiver would drop the DTS signal on this movie. I have played “Lord of the Rings” DTS 6.1 version and it works fine…no drops. I am about to blow this thing up…everyone tells me not to sweat it, Rush Hour sucks anyway ;-) ….but it just drives me crazy b/c I do enjoy the DTS 6.1 audio so maybe not with Rush Hour but when I start watching more movies this could be a big problem. I have sent emails to Onkyo and Yamaha and waiting on their responses. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve.

DVD Talk Legend
If it works on one dts disc and not on another it is not the hardware. Perhaps the masters of that movie have a problem and all the discs wil have dropouts. Are the dropouts at the same spot?
