Sorry about my stupidity, but I'm new to this. I currently have a denon receiver that has dolby digital DTS capabilities. So, do I need to buy a dvd player that also claims dts capability? I don't quite understand the whole dts picture. I appreciate any clarification.
Yes, you will need a DVD player, which can read the DTS signals and pass the signals to your Denon receiver. The transmission is through digital cable and then you can get the signals processed by Denon. Good luck.
Your DVD player needs to be able to recognize and pass the DTS signal through. It doesn't need to be able to decode it because you have a receiver that will decode it. Some of the earlier DVD players did not pass DTS properly. You always want to use the digital audio out connector directly to your receiver. Never use the analog out.
You will probably need to go into the setup menu on the DVD player to set the digital output for the DTS position. You will also need to select the DTS soundtrack on the individual DVD's audio setup menu. Then you will need to select the DTS input on the Denon receiver via the input mode selector. At that juncture you should be hearing DTS. To my ears it sounds a little cleaner than Dolby, but has less midbass content. Happy listening!
