DTS Re-Encode or Bitstream?

Question

I have an LG BP220 Blu-ray player and I'm setting it to work with my surround sound Sony STR–DE597 through coax. (yes i know the receiver is ancient) :P
In the digital output setting on the lg I'm wondering whether I should use DTS Re-Encode or Bitstream… those are the only ones that light up the multichannel Decoding light on my sony receiver which means its surround.
which one is better? and whats the difference?

Answer 1

- DTS Re-encode will be low quality.

- Bitstream will be advised for any surround sound format.

- or PCM. = Tip: If you have a receiver (input deveice) and/or output device that does not support DTS-HD-MA, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD-HR, or Dolby Digital Plus bitstreams, you can tell your output device to decode it into PCM and then send it over the hdmi cable to the receiver.



= I recommend you use a hdmi cable so you can take advantage of the DTS-HD-MA and/or Dolby TrueHD surround sound bitstream formats. If your devices don't support those formats, then still use a hdmi cable and set it to PCM instead.

= I did not take the time to look at your devices, but if all you can use is a s/pdif coaxial. Then put it on bitstream for lossy surround sound OR put it on pcm for uncompressed stereo. = btt guy said it was stereo, so you want it on PCM then (higher quality).



= (Audio cables: DisplayPort, HDMI, S/PDIF Optical, or S/PDIF Coxial carry digital audio). (Red/White or Headphone jack carry analog audio).

- DisplayPort (v1.0 to v1.2) or HDMI (v1.3 to v1.4) cable: Up to 7.1/24bit/96khz or 5.1/24bit/192khz (192khz for PCM). Up to 8 channels (7.1) uncompressed PCM and lossless compression surround sound formats DTS-HD-MA or Dolby TrueHD and lossy compression surround sound formats DTS-HD-HR, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES Discrete, DTS, or Dolby Digital.

- S/PDIF Optical or S/PDIF Coxial cable: Up to 5.1/20bit/48khz (96khz for DTS 96/24 and 192khz for PCM) (or 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete) (24bit optional). Up to 2 channels (2.0) uncompressed PCM and lossy compression surround sound formats DTS 96/24, DTS-ES Discrete, DTS, or Dolby Digital.

Your Sony receiver is a stereo receiver. The coax cable input is mainly for old CD players. Also your receiver does not have a DTS decoder. You LG Blu Ray disc player only has an optical audio output and an HMDI. You can not connect a coax cable to the player and then to the receiver. Hope this will help you out.

Answer 5

i would use bitstream... pcm vs bitstream has been a chicken or the egg type of argument for a long time.. In your case, i would let your sound system do the decode since i doubt it properly channels PCM audio. Bitstream is a raw audio stream sent to a device with the intent of that device decoding it and pcm is typically already recoded at the player and sent as pre contrived audio to be sent accordingly.. the real debate is however meant for someone with a higher quality, more advanced audio set-up than the one you listen so for now, stick to bitstream and you can get the most out of your movies until you decide to take advantage of blu-ray audio and not just video.

Your receiver is not compatible so you should set bitstream, Lpcm is good if you connect HDMI or analog cables ( 5.1 ) from Bluray player to receiver.
