Hi all,

The 950 is my first foray into home theater sound. Until now I've been a two channel guy. My question concerns my dvd player, the 950 and using DTS.

My dvd player is a Toshiba 3107 which is circa 1997 or so and the only decoding it has is DD, no DTS. I had thought that since the 950 has a DTS decoder and I hook the Toshiba up using a coax input that I could get DTS output with the 950 doing the decoding. This doesn't seem to be the case. The Toshiba setup allows you to select PCM or AC3. Using Gladiator as software, if I select the DTS soundtrack the 950 will lock on DD 2.0. Selecting the DD soundtrack I get DD 3/2.1.

My question is, am I doing something wrong here or do I need a dvd player that supports DTS? I had assumed that a coax connection would pass the bitstream to the 950 which would decode it as DTS or DD but DTS is never an option that appears on the 950 when playing dvds.

Maybe it's time for a dvd player upgrade.

thanks,
-bill
