Digital out SPDIF should be set to Bitstream, not PCM.
Right. When set that way the old receiver that does not do DTS does not know how to analize a bitstream DTS signal. So I HAVE to set the A2 to PCM and when set that way my receiver DOES emit sound and the LCD reports Prologic and show icons of a center, left, right, sub, and one rear speaker.
You mean the LCD screen shows nothing on your receiver?
And you have no sound at all?
Right
In the meantime is the Sony you have hooked up now the
STR-DG1000. Or a different Sony.
An old Sony STR-DE825. I've ordered the STR-DG1000 but don't have it yet.
Your A-2 does DTS, doesn't it?
Yes.
