I am pretty sure I have everything on my PS3 set to output the lossless audio (HDMI Bitstream) and the 886 displays DTS MA. However, when I play a Blu Ray in my PS3 the Rear Surround lights on the front display do not light up.
It's a new PS3 Slim, right? What Blu-ray are you using? Most DTS-HD Master Audio discs are only 5.1.
Do I need to change the listening mode to Pro Logic IIx?
For the discs with 5.1 tracks, you can use PLIIx to involve the rear surrounds. That's what I do. The front panel display will still not show the rear surrounds lit up, though, because that display is used to identify the speakers that are active with the
incoming signal.
I cycled all the way thru all of the listening modes (by using the push button on the front of the 886) and I could not get them to light up. I tried Quantum of Solace, Cars, Dark Knight (all Blu Ray) and I cannot get the lights to go on (to indicate the back two rear surround speakers are being used).
Thanks again!
None of those are 7.1 tracks, so even when the rear surrounds are active because of the processing mode, you won't see them lit up.
