Linear PCM audio...what the heck is it ?

[blaven]

Have old Yamaha RX- V 1300 and Apple TV....using component cables from Yamaha to Panny as there is only one HDMI and that is from Cable Box...using optical cable from Apple TV to the YAMAHA under CDR...

It always reads PCM and when I have it in "stereo" mode rather than DTS, Prologic etc, I get No sound whatsoever.

There are only 2 settings on Audio out for Apple TV...Dolby Digital "On" or "Off"...no stereo sound with either....i am forced to sit in some neo concert hall

Please help my music sound reasonable again

Thanks

It seems like most of my concert videos have a 2-channel audio program and a multi-channel program...including the ones with TrueHD and DTS-HD.

This ensures backwards compatibility with most any receiver. This thread is dusty old, The Monstrous Man? I haven't seen him around here since the great die off of 1999-2004.
