Page 1 of is my dts working

my dvd player has a dd decoder built in but has dts output only
when watching a dd disc the digital surround display lights up as do all the speaker displays

yet for dts only the digital surround lights up

is this as there is no decoder it just outputs it and my amp decodes it or should ther speakers be light to indicates it is working ok

i know this sounds rc[at]p buts its the best way i have of explaining it

i am getting sound when dts plays and my amp displays dts

If you are getting sound and your amp is displaying DTS, you are OK.

sounds like you should be - just test and see which sounds better eh :) the dts certainly will if it`s working.

my sorta blind test is this: check for sequences with music and loud noises - if the music gets quieter when the loud noises happen then it`s not dts (DD has to do this as it hasn`t got hte same dynamic range as dts and compresses the sounds)
