What happened to DTS? What is the chance these will play ok with this unit?

Yes. From the technical details: Built In Decoder: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital, DTS decoder

Yes, supports, but I never saw any tv signal with DTS channels, if you are trying to buy it form home media purpose, I would suggest to search for a better option

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

Sony has been very bad about clearing this up. Unfortunately, the SonyHome Theater System HT-SS2300 does not support DTS-HD format Sound.The Home Theater System supports Digital Cinema Sound (DCS), DolbyDigital, Dolby Por Logic II, Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic) andDTS Digital Surround. Now the question becomes how do we play over 1/3 of the discs out there with some kind of surround sound???

Sorry, you're correct. That's what happens when one answers questions in the small hours of the morning with too little sleep. You were looking for "Dolby Digital Theater Sound (DTS) without having to depend on RF or red/white cables for audio." The following specs and references should help: http://www.tivax.com/STB-T9.htm http://www.tivax.com/support.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CECB_units

This one has HDMI 1.3 instead of 1.2, and supports DTS 5.1. The older one you have doesn't natively decode DTS. It's only passthru. Those are the major differences I know about.

I received this "non-answer" from Pioneer today:Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.The unit supports playback of commercially made CD-Audio discs. Playback of CD-R is not guaranteed.Thank You, RockyCustomer Service RepresentativeI'm going to take a chance and order it anyway. I have two of the PD-F1009 units (the 301 capacity units) and have had no problems. This PD-F407 is to be a present for my son. I'll get back with the results.

I'm planning to get the Momentus XT for Christmas but I need some reassurance from someone who has owned this drive for a at least a year in their PS3 and has upgraded to SD28 (Latest firmware) because I really do want to get it, it's cheap for what it is and what it does which makes a perfect buy, however if it's going to have problems later down the road then I might have to reconsider, I've heard some good stuff and I heard some bad stuff about it, but I just really need to be sure before taking the plunge to buying it.

I have JRiver Media Center and with latest drivers and compatible outputs, I was able to bitsteam 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio from a Zotac GPU. I believe it is the Intel CPU that decodes the DTS-HD MA signal. I must say that there is a significant improvement in the sound across all audio sources over the hardware that I had before.

Return it to Sangean for warranty replacement, if it is less than a year old. My Sangean ATS-909X failed at 14 months...and I am left with a doorstop. Would not purchase this model of Sangean again. I now think the Tecsun PL-880 is a much more dependable and user friendly multi-band radio.

The two answers here are right. I don't know for sure about the DTS sound quality but the sound quality of the headphones, when being used through the controller as instructed, sound very good. I played Alien: Isolation yesterday using these headphones so I wouldn't scare anyone out of their sleep and it was completely immersive. Sound detail was amazing, locations of foes and friend were nearly spot on (it is 2.0 after all), and the music soundtrack was crystal clear. Basically, it made it easier to scare the crap out of me. :) They're worth every penny. Another website has these for $49.99.

Yo, Mr. Lee, I'm very surprised to hear that your SoundSticks II "died" on you in such a short time frame. I would hope that Harmon Kardon took care of you. Please post a follow-up so that we other SoundStick investors see how customer relations works with this Co. Mine work splendidly tho they too are only a couple months old. Hope somebody took care of you.

I can not address the 2 or 1 question. Seems to me I got my last 3 for about $50 each. These units are good. Keep your paperwork. DTV will want info off of it.

Looks like the question has been answered. Good luck with your unit installation.

No, but DTS-HD has a DTS core that will play fine on your DTS receiver. However if your receiver does not support DTS at all you won't be able hear anything unless the bluray or dvd has a different audio track or your player will down-convert for you. All Dolby True-HD blurays I have, also have a Dolby Digital track as well.
