and XD(output 1, video only) -> projector

All works fine except for the Dish DVR the 568 shows PCM Mov2 over the multichannel 568 input. The Dish is also connected to the 568 via Toslink and this connection shows AC3 5.1. I set the Dish to output only bitstream and not to output PCM.

I confirmed with Dish and several forums that the ViP722 can send DD5.1 over HDMI.

Why is the 568 saying it is receiving PCM Mov2?


Thanks,

There might be some issue with the way the Radiance and the HD621 work together. I found that when setting the audio EDIDs in the Radiance that I would just get a screeching sound if I specified DD 5.1. I had to set them for PCM only even though the TIVO does do DD 5.1 and so does the HD621. In the case of the TIVO if you force it to send pcm it will down res DD 5.1 to 2 channel pcm. There is some discussion of this in the thread that Tim M started. You could also do what I did which is to plug your TV box directly into the HD621 and then run HDMI out to your Radiance. It seems to work for me with DD 5.1 from a TIVO.
