PLII just stands for Dolby Pro Logic II. 3.2/1 is your speaker setup. Front/center rear/sub. If the recording is not DTS,it's going to play back in PLII or PCM mode.
Hi Peeps,
I just bought a HT-AS720S Samsung receiver/Speaker system and everytime I try to play an AVI file that I know is AC3 5.1, the receiver stays on Prologic IIx which is only supposed to be for 2 channel audio.
I had the same problem when trying regular DVD's and then realized the Audio settings on my DVD player were not set right and was on PCM
So now I have fixed the DVD problem and they are now playing on regular Dolby Digital Surround but the AVI file is still showing on the receiver as L.PCM Digital and Audio setting PL IIx.
Am I missing something else. This file is definately AC3 as that is what it shows when I right click it and properties and when playing on my DVD player and selecting DVD Audio it shows it as 3/2.1 Dolby Digital as well !
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Dash
