thanks for everything you are very helpful.
my home cinema is panasonic SA-HT855

I found in the manual of your Panasonic that it can decode 5.1 ch surround. It has no HDMI in, so you must use an optical digital audio cable to connect it to your Playon.
I do not think it can handle 6.1 or 8.1 audio. Look at the specs on page 48 and 49.

the manual don't open but another one i found it has hdmi on dvd..and i found an hdmi output on dvd.. it is only for video or i can connect it to ac ryan with a splitter?

Yep,

No HDMI-in automatically means no DTS HD MA or True HD 5.1 / 7.1.

Normal DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 should be no problem with optical/coaxial connection.

Br,

The HDMI of your Panasonic is output only, so it no use to connect it to your Playon.

I had to accept some geberal condition to view the manual, so that is probably why you cannot open the link. Go to the Panasonic website of your country and search for your Home Cinema set to, view the manual.

thank you very very much for the help and quick responds you are very helpful...

everytime i try to play a file that has truehd audio it wont even play it jams up the mini

Hello,

If you want a quick and good reply to your question, please include your: AVR model / how you are connected with cables HDMI 1.3 or 1.4 or something else? / what firmware you are using / what product you are using + board on this product? If you have the Mini, this was released with a DD model that does not support True HD, but also with a C+ model that does. You can see this if you go to 'Setup:Misc:Version info:board:'

Br,

Thanx for the reply mikael this has been my main issue for a long time but i didn't have hardly any files with truehd so it wasn't such a big deal but now i am accumulating lots of files with lossless audio sometimes it's truehd sometimes its dsthd-ma. I have no probs with dtshd-ma or any other audio just true hd as i say the mini jams when i select the file. Now i am actually not using a receiver well not yet anyway when i can afford one i'll get one but for now it's just my tv speakers so i'm not expecting the benefits of lossless audio i just want the file to play. I'm using r4824 & it's just my mini connected to my plasma via hdmi. I play everything only from my ext hdd's & my board is 1073DD C+ so it should infact support True HD then?

Hey,

You will not be able to play True HD without a AVR with HDMI 7.1 support.

You should be able to get the stereo/downmix 2channel if you have 'Setup:Audio:HDMI Output: LPCM' with our latest official firmware.
