Client of a new dist IP video system(Zektor Pixel) calls this morning. We have several TVs in this system that do not have ceiling speakers and rely on the TV for sound. There are two Sony blu-rays, sats, movie server, etc.

Select any source and you get correct sound thru HDMI to TV speakers.....right?

Select the blu-ray, he starts a movie that he was watching in the Theater.

No voice and dialog, only left and right of a 5.1 setup.

Went thru all of the settings in the TV and BR......nothing.....

Went to the settings in the disc itself, found two channel selected it, and wa la
I has sound.

VICTORY...........................RIGHT?

Had another disc in the other BR, played it, no voice, went to its menu and no two channel setting.....nothing.


First, it does not make sense because the TV should decode the 5.1 and play it correctly.

Second, no setting on a disc where the sound would play correct for someone with just a TV.

Any input is appreciated and encouraged!

I always get the weird problems!
