Equipment I need help with: JVC RX-6008V AV Receiver
Hey all, I am tooling around with a home theater I am cobbling together. Recently I purchased both a coax digital audio cable and a fiber cable to bump up my setup to output Dolby Digital source from my DVDs. I tried both cables without success.
The thing is that my receiver only seems to detect and output a Linear PCM signal. The receiver I have has a visual display on the front of it that will show each speaker that is being used based on the signal the receiver is decoding. No matter what I try it will only show the L and R channel as activated even though it is clear that all 5 speakers seem to be producing sound. What i'm not sure of if wether or not I'm getting a true dolby digital signal even though the receiver is only showing the output as a stereo signal.
I have tried using 3 different DVD players all with Dolby Digital capabilities and made sure the DVDs i'm playing have that type of sound encoding. I have properly set the digital inputs for each of the two audio cable types and get the same result. For whatever reason I can't get the receiver to detect and play anything but this Linear PCM signal.
I know it's a long shot but does anyone out there have this equipment that might shed some light on this?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
