This seems like the kind of question that has probably appeared 1,000 times before, but I honestly can't find anything when I do a search, so my apologies in advance. I have a Kenwood DTS 5.1/DD 5.1/Dolby Pro-Logic II surround receiver, but my DVD player is a Sony DVP-S7000 which only outputs DD 5.1, not DTS. I've heard that there is a way to convert the audio once it is output by the player so the receiver will recognize and decode it as DTS 5.1 but I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to the tech stuff. Can anyone help me a) confirm whether or not this can be done and, if so, b) advise in the most dumbed-down manner possible how to do it? Thanks a million!

Can't be done.

stevevt is right. Unfortunately, you can't convert DD to DTS. Honestly though, you're not missing *that* much. If you're not happy with DD, give PL III a try. The S7000, although older, is a nice player. I bought one at launch for $1000 and sold it years later for like $125. To this day I wish I had kept it for the coolness factor of that sliding front panel!

Yep one of the two reason I put my S7000 on bedroom duty about 3 years ago. That and no progressive scan capability. Amazing player though has held up very well
