Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater DTS HD MA coming to PS3 next week

Yeah the PS3 can only decode the formats, not bitstream them, because of hardware constraints. I don't know all the mumbo jumbo, but you can easily find it on any thread about DTS-HD MA. It converts any of those formats to LPCM and sends it to the receiver

I WAS chanting, weren't you?

Nick try saying it backwards so it's more subliminal. I believe it translates into....

3sp a yub lliw I, 3sp a yub lliw I, 3sp a yub lliw I

Hey, don't try to trick me... I see that word "yub" in there....

Search your feelings, your thoughts betray yourself.....you know you want one.

in addition, on the AVS Playstation forum, it has been said that even if you choose bitstream, it still sends the lossless codecs as LPCM. I have not been able to confirm. But yes, it will NOT send the audio to your receiver to be processed by the receiver.

If i remember correctly, there are two settings for the sound, one for optical and one for HDMI in the Playstation settings. Each one you can set to Bitstream or Linear PCM. I tried to make my PS3 bitstream to my receiver once and it told me that if I set HDMI to bitstream it would not bitstream the HD tracks. I can't remember if it would have not decoded them, or just continued decoding and sending as LPCM, but basically yeah, vassillios, it can only go LPCM.
