No sound for *some* blu ray discs / can't get a menu
1) Some blu ray discs (Michael Clayton, Kung-Fu Panda) play in beautiful surround sound. Others (Band of Brothers, Bourne Identity, Harold & Kumar) play the menu music, but when the feature starts, the sound disappears completely.
2) Tried to do a sound check but could not pull up the menu. After pressing ENTER twice, the sound drops out, and I lose my AC-3 light and digital connection, and the unit automatically switches to speaker B.
Help, I am trapped with a great picture and lousy sound!
How's the Blu-Ray player connected to the TX-DS838?
2) Which menu is it you hit Enter twice from? What function does each Enter default to? You're not selecting Multi-Channel by mistake, are you?
So did you ever get the sound properly set up? You might want to conquer that problem before expecting optimim sound performance.
1) In the Blu-Ray disks that don't play sound properly, did you go into their menus to see what their default settings are and if that differs from the ones that do work? Is DTS the difference? Get to know what that is on Page 34 of the manual.
Notes on DTS:
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM”
setting is selected on the TX-DS898, the DTS encoded signal
will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to
selected “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when “All” is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS
decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts operating.
This is not a malfunction.
• If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while
playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS”
selected.
• The DTS indicator on the TX-DS898 lights while a DTS source
is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the TX-DS898 remains in DTS mode and the
DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate
the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if the
source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM
signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the
source on the player for about three seconds and then resume
playback.
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the
player to the TX-DS898 digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling
frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-DS898 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise
when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE
OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not
record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If
you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
• If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played
back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always
select “All” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-encoded sources.

Re: No sound for *some* blu ray discs / can't get a menu
Some blu ray disc play fine. Others play the menu music, but when the feature starts, the sound disappears completely. And then others don't play music at all, no sound what do ever.

The disc is scratched. If it is not scratched, is the game installed to your hard drive? If it is, there was a problem with installation. You will have to buy a new disc if it is scratched, or re install it if it is a bad install.
just install 3D analyzer, next when installed, click select, go to the file of the kung fu, select game, and click emulate HW TnL caps. Run TADAA The **** its that are closing always(for demo, i think) Please rate Peace!
The xbox 360 wirless controller has very little lag that you would not be able to notice i would suggest just getting the controller and if u want u can also get a xbox 360 controller that is wired.
If you're trying to play through to your TV through the RF out on your combo unit, it's probably the copy protection that's stopping the playback. Try through the composite/audio jacks.
You need to get the previous firmware from their site and downgrade it. The new firmware is probably having issues with some older media. I just got a Samsung and in the manual there was a section on media compatibility that said media compatibility was not guaranteed and not all discs are guaranteed to work. I think the standard is still going through changes that may render some discs unplayable while enabling others that were not supported before. Check the Sony site to see if they have older firmware available. If not you may need to contact tech support and report the issue so they can release a new update that addresses the issue you are experiencing.
i fixed this exactly as previous posted solutions, however a couple of points.
a) recordable CDs work if you don't have a DVD burner.
b) I didn't have a CD burner that would do an "image burn", I downloaded a free copy of "Express Burn" and that worked fine. The disk needs to be "finalised" or "fixated", it should do this automatically, or it may be a tick box selection.
c) I got a "No DWLD 09" when I put the disk into the player. I found this was an incompatibility with the CD-R (Maxwell) I was using. I changed to JVC and it worked fine.
