You have no center speaker and you're worried about lossless
audio from BD?

It's true that I have no center speaker, but it's not true that I'm worried about lossless audio.

My problem is that my receiver is very old. It doesn't support DTS. How to get audio out of my surround speakers when playing a disc that one, has a DTS audio track but two, has no Dolby Digital 5.1 track? This was never an issue with DVD's, but is an issue with some BD's.

I needed help deciding what to do, which is why I came to ths forum and started this thread. I learned that I had a choice: Upgrade my receiver or return the BD player for one that has a DTS decoder and 5.1 analog audio outputs. This latter choice is an option for me because my receiver has 5.1 analog inputs. That's the option I chose for several reasons. It cost me nothing!


Riiiiight... Please get your center
channel before you do anything else!

I may take that advice. These issues of the lossless audio and the center speaker came up only as asides during this discussion. As I said at the beginning of this thread, I was perfectly happy with the audio I was getting. And as a result of swapping out the BD player, I am happy again.

I think, though, that adding a center channel speaker would probably be the next upgrade I'd make. As I've already said, the furniture layout and other factors make this upgrade unlikely.

I've moved on to other projects. I'm hoping to find a good deal on a HDTV for the bedroom. Yesterday and today I'm installing ceiling speakers and a shelf to accomodate an even older receiver. This'll be a major upgrade in the bedroom audio.
