Integra 9.8 troubles

I purchased a new integra 9.8 a few weeks ago & I finally got around to hooking it up. I figured it's probably something that I am doing & I cannot figure out what that it.

I use a PS3 for blueray which is connected via HDMI
Integra 9.8 is hooked to TV via HDMI

Anyways, the pre/pro does not automatically select DTS, THX etc when I put different blueray discs in. On the display it only shows the front left & front right speaker is working however I can hear sound from all speakers (5.1). I changed my PS3's setting in the AV setup area to bitsream which is what the local shop told me to do.

Any ideas what this could be? I haven't called Integra's help line but I have bigged the local shop that I purchased the unit from.

I was under the impression that front left/right, center, sub & surround left/right should be listed on the display of the pre/pro. I can only get the main front left/right to show that it is on.

thanks

Do you have the menu in the Integra set-up to a default listening mode?> While I am not familiar with that unit many have a menu for a default mode such as Pro logic IIX, THX, Stereo or any number of options. Look at digital menu or input listening mode or something to that affect and perhaps that is the issue.

You have to select the appropriate sound track from the disc menu. Otherwise, you get the default, whatever that is; apparently stereo.

The display on the 9.8 shows what it is receiving and then the 9.8 can redistribute it as set in the input menu.

You may want to look at the AVS Forum. They have a long thread on the Integra 9.8 (and 9.9) and the issues with the unit and software updates that have come out to address some of these problems.

I don't know if the information will pertain to your particular matter but the thread is a god source of information for anyone that has one of these. The Integra is listed under Processors.
