Dolby Digital EX problem…

0A1B2C (Elite) posted this on Wednesday, 26th November 2003, 18:47

When I play certain DVDs with Dolby Digital EX soundtracks my A/V amplifier (Yamaha DSP-AX640) doesn't switch to EX mode.

The two DVDs with EX soundtracks that I've tried are "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Austin Powers 3", and both don't "work". However, I do have a Dolby demo disc which has an EX soundtrack and my amp has no problem picking up on it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Adam.

Yes, I`m sure I read about that somewhere earlier this year.

When 6.1 first appeared all discs were flagged,but some amps were having problems so DD-EX stopped auto flagging.I got another title recently,can`t remember which one and it auto flagged.I find all DTS-ES discs do auto flag

Yes, I`ve tried a couple of DTS-ES titles and had no problems.
