Issue with BD audio settings

[Bauhaus71]

Good evening,

i have an issue with BD audio settings.
I am trying to select “bitstream” from BD settings but option is not available. I can only choose “PCM” as bitstream is present but it seems not activated.
I use UHD HDMI cable. AV is Anthem MRX 520 that support DTS HD MASTER AUDIO & DOLBY TRUE HD encoding.
I really don’t understand..can you help me?

thanks in advance

Odd... typically, you can switch from PCM to Bitstream if the source (PS5 etc) can see a path. I would look at the HDMI input on the Anthem. It's possible that the particular port on the receiver needs to be internally (menu setup) for it or maybe can only do surround on certain ports. That's not usual but I'd be looking into whether or not that HDMI port is completely open for the signal path. Assuming you're using the cable that came with the Playstation or a 48gps cable, you should be able to switch that output to Bitstream once it can see an open path. Another way to do it is to connect the HDMI directly to the TV and see if Bitstream is selectable. You could then connect the eArc HDMI to the Anthem for audio.

Thanks A lot DCLong57.

Currently I’m using UHD 48Mbps HDMI cable.
HDMI ports on Anthem already opened for bitstream.
I will try to change HDMI cable and if result is the same I‘ll try to connect it directly on my Sony a90j.

thanks a lot for your support
