Also, there is probably and audio setting in your Satellite receiver that will enable the digital out to transmit 5.1 when available. My Ref30 behaved like yours on Satellite, until I changed the setting on my Satellite receiver
help with B&K Ref 30
I have some questions about the on screen display on my Ref 30. Except for DVD Audio,whenever I watch a DVD movie the on screen display reads "DVD analog 2.0 48K", DTS or DD. The same holds true for watching satellite. The processor is in either the surround 6 or 7 mode. I get sound from all 5 or 7 speakers. I have a digital coax interconnect from the DVD player to the B&K for audio, as does my Satellite. I would think the on screen display would read "digital 5.1 or 6.1 48k".I have my DVD player set to output the digital bitstream and I go into the DVD dics' menu and choose either DD or DTS. What's with this? Is this how it's suppose to be?
