Home theater system only plays Pro logic, no digital or DTS

Mine does the same thing, except I have a Sony DVP-S9000es and an Acurus ACT3. Seems the only thing in common is SONY maybe I should check my owners manual, I thought it had to be the Acurus for some reason, maybe someone else will shed some light on our problem.

Well, one thing to check is that the particular DVDs you are playing contain Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding. Many DVDs only contain the older Pro Logic soundtracks, but most recent releases have the DD 5.1. I have encountered DVDs with both Pro Logic and DD formats and sometimes you need to go into the setup menu on the DVD player to select the DD 5.1 version. I think most receivers equipped for DD playback automatically switch to that format when incoming DD 5.1 is detected.

Are you connecting the two pieces togeather using a digital cable? Digital out(DVD) Digital In (Reciever)?. Have you gone into the menu of the movie(Audio set up/Languages)? Clicked on 5.1 or dts.
