Transformers BD Does not support Dolby Digital
on October 21, 2009
Posted by: James4
from Annapolis
I cannot believe they released the Blu Ray disk without an English 5.1 Dolby Digital track. The Blu Ray disk only comes with English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio/French 5.1 Dolby Digital/Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital and various subtitles. As I played the BD my system reverted back to ProLogic Surround.
I updated the software in both my Sony KDL40XBR6 LCD TV and Sony BDP-S550 Blu Ray player in an effort to restore a Dolby Digital signal that was never there. I even pulled all the Yamaha 2092 stereo components out and checked the cables. To ensure I was still getting the Dolby Digital signal I successfully played a DVD and another BD "Iron Man." A double check of the back of the Transformers BD case revealed the list of supported audio (mentioned above) and a small note "certain advanced features may not play on all machines." Here was my answer.
Oh I was able to play the Transformers BD in French 5.1 Dolby Digital Successfully. I just cannot believe that the Transformers BD was not released with both DTS and Dolby Digital. I have to go to the smaller resolution DVD to get the better sound or listen in French/Spanish. Seems kinda odd.
Needless to say I am very disappointed in this BD.
What's great about it: Cinamatography
What's not so great: No English Dolby Digital Sound track
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
