Guys I have bought WDTV connected to my Optoma HD66 via HDMI and Toslink to my AVR (VSX-817-K (Archived) - Pioneer Europe). I am getting no audio when I play MKV files with DTS. I am using standard firmware. My assumption was that WDTV can do DTS passthrough and if your decoder can decode DTS you should be good to go... Its not happening. Please advise..
A second not so important issue is that my video output keeps resetting to composite on reboot from HDMI. I have read the workaround on WDTV forum that you can learn the button sequence on remote to reset it back to HDMI without looking at the screen... Like (down+enter+down+enter+down+down+down+down+enter) to set it to 720p... yet to try out. Is there a cleaner alternative. It seems my Optoma and WDTV cant auto negotiate the resolution and therefore WDTV resets to composite.
As stated issue 1 is most important. I dont want to end up converting all my files to AC3.
The link for my WDTV: Amazon.com: Western Digital WDTV Full HD Media Player - Recertified: Electronics
P.S. If I dont want wifi do I really need to flash my firmware?
