Best configuration for Pioneer DV-47 & Theta DAC?


Hi all,

I just treated myself to upgrading my DVD player to the new DV-47.
Previous to this, I had the Pioneer DV-37 which was connected to a Theta
DAC via coax. When I connected the new DV-47 in the same configuration I
heard a clicking noise. The unit played fine from the analog outs of the
player. I then stumbled upon a setting which allowed you to change the
digital out from Dolby Digital to Dolby Digital > PCM. Changing it to the
Digital > PCM allowed the audio to come through.

Question is... is this the best configuration for these two pieces? My
receiver is simple Pro Logic way before AC-3, etc...

Thanks,

Ed

There are about 1 billion possible settings on that player, you would do well to read the manual to get these right. A friend tried one, hated it initially, spend a few hours resetting some of the sound "enhancing" features to make it sound OK (but not great).
