Page 1 of Wharefdale 750 DTS Sound Problem

I have a Wharefdale 750 player. It works fine with Dolby Digital sountracks but when I try a DTS disk I get no digital signal sent to my amplifier. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? If so how did you get round it.

Does your amp have a DTS Decoder ?

Evan,

If you amp is DTS compatible, then you will probably need to change the audio output type from the 750. With no disc playing press the `setup` button and change the audio option on the second page from digital PCM to bitstream (or back depending on your current setting).

Make sure the disc you are now playing is set for DTS output and then enjoy.

any probs just email and I can try them out on my setup.

Gents,

Thanks for your responses but still no luck. My AMP is DTS capable but this is the first time I have tried it. I use a digital co-ax cable to hook the AMP to the player - this works for Dolby Digital. My player is set up for Bitstream but still no sound. I have tried switching between bitstream and PCM, I get sound when set to PCM. I am at a bit of a loss as to what to try next. My AMP is a Sony DB940. Any ideas?

Ewan,

What discs are you trying to play. I will check my audio settings tonight. Have you set the disc to actually output DTS, I think it is an option on Gladiator and Chicken Run, I believe on Gladiator if you are using DTS then you get a different intro from DTS, some piano demo. What model of 750 do you have, has it got dts on the front ?

Adam,

I am trying to play the Eagles DVD. My friend at work has the same basic setup as me just a different AMP. The Eagles play fine on his machine. I think I have the first version of the 750, it has no DTS logo or LED on the front. My friend at work has the same player. I selected the DTS soundtack on the Disc. I can flick between no sound and PCM sound by pressing the Audio button on the remote. According to information I can get on the web all 750 players are DTS capable but how true this is I don`t know.

Thanks for your help.........Ewan

Hi,

I just bought a Kenwood KRFV 7030D DD/DTS amp and plugged it to my 1st gen Wharfedale DVD-750, all is fine when setting the disc to DD5.1, but as soon as i change the sound track to DTS, the amp does become silent, does not receive any signal and then switch off after a couple of seconds. Are all DVD-750 ok to output the DTS or not ? i read in a newsgroup that another user has the same problem with the same setup. I cannot believe it`s an amp problem...... Any ideas ????

Following the problems I am having getting DTS from my Wharfedale player I got a friend to bring up his Pioneer DVD player. We played a couple of DVDs with DTS sound. Again when we switched to DTS the sound from the AMP went dead and no signal was received by the AMP. It would appear to be an amplifier problem and not a DVD player problem in my case. My amplifier which is Sony STR-DB940 comes up with the message UNLOCK when I switch to the DVD player setting. The instruction manual has nothing in it about this message so I am at a loss as to what it means. Does anyone else have the same Amplifier and experience the same problem with DTS sound?

Thanks and regards ...........Ewan Robb

Hi,

I already replied to the same problem in another thread. today an engineer sent by Tesco came and took back the player with him. It`s been widely advertised that the DVD-750 is DTS capable, even the Wharfedale web site says that (without specifying the 750s only). So i hope to have my player back soon with DTS output working fine.

JC,

I spoke to Wharfedale about the problem. If your machine doesn`t have a DTS logo on it it may not play DTS. There is a lot of confusing information on the web about whether the 750 (original machines) can or cannot play DTS soundtracks. I was told that only some of the original machines could play DTS, mine is one of them. My player does however play RCE discs. My firends 750 player plays DTS discs but not RCE discs.

Would be intersted to here how you are getting on.
