does mediatek MT1389 chip play DTS?

[net83it]

hello

sorry for my poor english, i'm italian

it seems that player with mediatek mt1389xx chip doesn't output sounds from stereo analogic outputs when DTS audio of a dvd film is selected! DolbyDigital works fine.

the questions:
1) does mediatek chip downmix DTS audio to stereo?
2) using cable or optical output is the Dts audio sent regularly to a HT system?

can anyone do some tests?

thank u

nope it only sends them to the DIGITAL OUT sorry :(

I thought the Elta 8883 had DTS decoding built in?

No. :(

That is a big shame then, its was one of the things I was hoping for. So is it worth getting the Elta 8883 over the yamada 6100 then? Is the quality of the playback that much better?

Thanks

Cant see a difference in picture quality between them on my TV.
The elta is much more comfortable to use and does not have resizing and ar problems, thats why i bought it.
But the elta does not support subtitles and DivX audio until now, the Yamada does.

yamada uses Ess chip, it can play divx audio (wma v2)!!!!

Well, nice that we agree on that. :)

mistake..... "it can't"

are you sure your yamada player read wma audio contained in a Avi file? which model?

I have a Yamada DVX6100.
Dont know if it plays WMA in AVI, but it plays AVI with DivX Audio.
I know its actually the same but i never tried using "real" WMA in AVI.

Why would you like to have DTS downsampled to stereo ?
Every DVD that I have seen has 5.1 dolby or even already downsampled ac3 track for stereo owners. There is no point in DTS, if you leasten it in stereo.
