DTS problem

There is a problem with DTS sound pass through in some mkv movies. Sound is breaking on my Philips home cinema. Problem usualy exists in movies with DTS 1500kbps and above.

My last movies with this problem:
- Predators 2010 1080p BluRay x264 DTS-WiKi
- Iron Man 2 2010 1080p BluRay x264-Japhson
- Iron Man 2 2010 1080p BluRay x264 DTS-WiKi

Are there any plans for official DTS downmix in official firmware?

If you had a downmix then all you would have is stereo.
TBH I find Philips stuff a bit crap, maybe your amp isn't upto it?
I have a Sony STR-DH800 and that plays back anything I thow at it.

I don't think it's my amp problem because I have also 30 other DTS 1080p movies and most of them are working fine. Downmix is very usable because I would like to have sound on my TV (watching movies at night or watching not action movies)

Could just be a poor encoding of the movie if you have others that are OK.
You say DTS 1500kbps and above, ALL DTS is 1500 or less UNLESS it's HD audio in which case your amp isn't compatible.

I have also WD TV Live player - and sound on those movies working very fine with my amp... so I still think that there is something wrong with pass through on VU...

Must be the VU then, but the thing is that the signal should just pass through the VU without any processing (thats why it's called passthrough) tried a differant image?

At this moment I am using newest OpenPli for 2-3 months (updated once a week). Today I noticed same problems with: Knight and Day 2010 BluRay 1080p DTS x264-CHD and Predators 2010 1080p BluRay x264 DTS-WiKi. Moreover picture is "hanging" sound and subtitles goes on - I have to Fast Forward by presing 3 on remote controler and picture is working for few seconds and hanging again. I used PopcornAudioConverter and MKV merge to covert DTS to AC3 and remove compressed headers, subtitles, chapters (clean mkv file picture + AC3) - Sound is OK but picture is hanging still...

Hi, sorry for the delay (health problems). I tested those movies with official firmware and latest VTI 2.1 - Everything working perfect! No DTS pasthrough breaking, picture is going all very well. So the problem was OpenPli with older player.

But there is one very little problem - subtitles font size - is to small. Any ideas how to enlarge font size?
