BDP5200 cannot play DTS audio in MKV container

[singho]

I tried F/W versions 1.16, 1.35, 1.55 and 1.61. Though the video plays, I hear no audio.

Other formats play fine and I can hear the audio.

Here is the mediainfo :

DTS seems to be a supported format. I am playing this MKV file off a powered hard disk connected to the USB. This file plays fine on VLC player on PC.

Bit rate : 3646 Kbps

Probably it is DTS-HD MA?

Probably it is DTS-HD MA?

You maybe right.
The XLS sheet in this thread , states that the max bitrate is 1.54Mbps


However, I thought I did play HD 6 channel DTS via blu-ray.

Can someone from Philips mods please confirm that indeed such a high bitrate is not supported.

The product brochure for BDP5200 does say that DTS-HD is supported.

The XLS sheet

That xls states that the following audio codecs are supported in MKV container: PCM, AC-3, DTS core, MPEG, MP3, WMA, AAC, HE-AAC. As you can see, no DTS-HD.

Hi,

with MKV (or any media file) only DTS CORE is supported - not the HD formats...

On Blu-ray also the HD formats are supported - as written in the product specification.
