audio optical output format 2011 devices

[tiomiguel]

I have a 42PFL7606K, and I thing It has something MUST to be solved, because all other brands allow to choose: OPtical output bypass audio format from the input, and does NOT allow to choose between multichannel or STEREO PCM output... so, I amNOT able to connect it to my STEREO HIGH-END digital processor....

I see the newer 2012 models ALLOW to do this, so, I think this is a firmware issue, and could be implemented in 2011 models. I ask PJILIPS for doing it, because I believe hardware is capable... only a firmware update, please.

Thank you

PNX85537 has a Audio DSP built in, and its udio DACS output stereo signal for headphones ect. I do not understand why not output stereo PCM signal by digital output... I think this item can be implemented by a firmware update.

Philips doesn't usually offer updates on old models, but I guess there is something we could do here. It is possible that you need a certain cable to make this work.

Hi Tiomiguel

You can choose the audio format by going in to the TV menu under Home -> Setup -> Channel Selections -> Language -> Preferred audio format -> Standard or Advanced.

Standard = PCM Mpeg2 audio format will be select as priority.
Advanced = Dolby digital (AC3) audio format will be select as priority.

If only multichannnel is avaible, downsample to pCM stereo is NOT ddone and output is mutichnnel, not compatible with stereo digital receivers...
