    I've tried changing channel from Premiere HD 5.1 to Suisse HD ac3 a couple of times, only once was there a slight 'tick', never 1-2 seconds of screaming.


    Swiyching from german 5.1 to english 2.0 on premiere doesn't have any noise between switching.


    The manual (on the bottom of page 61 :winking_face: ) does however state:


    "Bei bestimmten HD DVD's und Blue-Ray-discs treht wehrend der wiedergabe eventuell Rauschen auf.Das macht sich in der regel bei der Formatumschaltung bei laufender wiedergabebemerkbar. Es weist nicht auf eine störung hin."

    Well, goodmorning!


    After reading (almost emotional :winking_face: ) reports of ac3 working over hdmi i ripped my setup apart and rewired the whole thing (left out the optical wiring from dm800) and guess what...


    My Onky606 now reports "Dolby D 5.1" when tuned to BBC HD of Premiere HD. (Haven't tried every channell out there, but this should be enough for a test.) :O


    I don't know why it didn't work befre, but it could be the fact i've only owned the 606 for about a week now and still getting to know it.

    Really? ..hmm.. so what stream is sent over hdmi when downmix is off? Is it raw mpeg? That WOULd be funny (not!) as my old JVC RX888 could handle that.. unfortunately it didn't have hdmi :face_with_tongue:


    However.. i think some people may confuse stereo sound with 5.1.. (i did first time i hooked the 800 up to the 606... only to find out moments later it wasn't 5.1)


    However i do hope you're right as that would mean a possible solution but below is the answer from DMM support (borrowed from another forum):


    Habe bei Dream Multimedia nachgefragt und das ist die Antwort:


    Sehr geehrte(r) xxxxxxx


    nein, dies ist leider nicht möglich.
    Über das DVI-HDMI Kabel haben Sie nur den normalen Stereoton oder einen
    AC3DownMix.
    Die "volle" Dolby Digital Tonspur haben Sie nur über ein optisches Kabel am
    Digitalausgang.


    Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis.

    You get stereo over your hdmi connection. There's a thread somewhere which has a quote from DMM confirming it. I was rather disappointed to. :frowning_face:


    ow, and switching ac3 downmix off results in no sound over hdmi at all!

    Hi,


    I have an Onkyo 606, and you will NOT get 5.1 over your hdmi connection. The DM800 simply doesnt't output 5.1 over hdmi, so an optical conenction to your receiver is needed.


    On a sidenote: the 606 turns on my xb360 over the hdmi connection constantly!!

    Hello,


    Is there a way (in software) to switch off the spdif/ac3 led entirely (when going in standby)? I use optical concentrators (reverse splitters) because my amplyfier doen't have enough optical inputs. The optical output on the dm800 seems to be permanently powered thus making use of the concentrators impossible.


    It seems the led gets switched off/on when changing channels, so it shouldn't be too difficult to implement for the coders. Even having the led off when in deep-standby (off) would be nice.



    Thanks.

    Hi,


    Someone over at another forum had the same question, so i'll give the same answer :winking_face:


    # DM800 auto resolution change by RedNax
    # Just start this script to run in background
    # v0.1 initial version
    # v0.2 only set outut resolution on change
    # v0.3 compare actual output with streamresolution
    # v0.4 redid all the code. more compact. Also checks progressiveness
    # v0.5 added backward compatibility for older images (ie no progressive 'file')
    # v.05b custom version



    while [ 1 ]
    do


    ress=`printf "%d" 0x\`cat /proc/stb/vmpeg/0/yres\``


    case $ress in
    720) ress=720p ;;
    576) ress=576p ;;
    1080) ress=1080i50 ;;
    *) ress=${ress}i ;;
    esac


    if [ "`cat /proc/stb/video/videomode`" != "$ress" ]
    then
    echo $ress > /proc/stb/video/videomode
    sleep 4
    fi


    sleep 1s
    done



    Enjoy!

    Hi,


    Older images may not have the progressive indicator file yet. So i've


    built in backward compatibility (The default output will be


    progressive for 720 and interlaced for everything else).


    You could store the script in /usr/script


    make sure you make the script executable


    ( chmod +x /usr/script/autores.sh )


    start it manually from telnet (/usr/script/autores.sh& ). note the &


    at the end.


    OR


    type the following (dm800# is the unixprompt in telnet.. ) for automatic start on reboot


    dm800# cd /etc/init.d
    dm800# echo '/usr/script/autores.sh&' > autores
    dm800# chmod +x autores
    dm800# cd /usr/script
    dm800# chmod +x autores.sh
    dm800# cd /etc/rc3.d
    dm800# ln ../init.d/autores S20autores.sh
    dm800# reboot


    Enjoy!

    Hi all,


    Just start the script below from init.d and run it in the background.
    Output resolution will change according to the resolution of the stream being watched. Feel free to modify it to suit your needs. Should work with any image!!


    Enjoy!
