Question

LG BH9530TW 3D Blu-Ray Player : 5.1 Surround Sound?

May 25, 2013 12:29AM PDT

It's my first post so .. I hope I'm in the right place

I just received my HTIB System - LG BH9530TW (similar to LG BH9520TW) yesterday. After setting it up, I notice some immediate problems arising. Among those and the most alerting one is Audio problem.

I tried playing several videos with 5.1 audio (Matroska/mkv with DTS 5.1 - completely certain about it) via the USB plug in the player. Video was flawless, but for the audio, I don't think it's true 5.1. And indeed it was - I checked via "audio" button in the remote, and LG recognized it as 2.1 audio in lieu of 5.1. This is rather alarming.

The sound produced from the speakers was 2.1 but "equalized" by the player to sound 5.1 "like" but not "true" 5.1.

I do realize that there are some problems (most probably HDCP protocols), but question is, was my problem caused by the HDCP or other factor?

Bear in mind I'm newbie to a/v things. I'm an alien.
