Toshiba 36ZT29B Dolby Digital Menu?

[Psojinx]

I have connected my Pioneer DVD player to the Toshiba 36ZT29B IDTV which supports Dolby Digital using a coaxial lead.

However I am unable to get true dolby digital surround sound. When I try to adjust the Dolby Digital Settings, to my surprise the menu option is not there. I have Dolby Pro-Logic, Dolby 3, Some DSP Stuff & Psudo Surround, but no Dolby Digital Menu Option.

When I spoke to the Toshiba helpline, they were as expected, of no use.

Any Advice would be grateful

Note:
DVD Connections:

Audio - Coaxial Lead to TV Dolby Digital Input
Visual - S-VHS Cable to TV (Ext 3)

All settings are correct (As verified by Toshiba Helpline) and I can hear the audio (but not in 5.1).

Anyone had simliar issues.:confused:

Err, why post twice :nuts:

Anyway, have you set your DVD to output the signal as Dolby Digital? It could be the DVD is only sending a stereo signal through the cable, not 5.1 discrete.

Scart set up with digital1 and all the that ?

5.1 settings only appear when there's a signal

Thanks for the hints, I will check the DVD settings, however the front panel on my Pioneer DVD player has the Dolby Digital Icon illuminated, so I assumed all was correct on the DVD. I will check in the manual.

I will try and get a fibre link for "digital 1" set-up and try that arrangement.

Sorry, forgot how it was numbered, if its right in the menu, any lead should work.

One thing is that my player has some bitstream/pcm option, and needs to be set as bitstream.

Thanks again, I'll see about the PCM/bitstream

To get proper dolby digital 5.1 when using the coaxial input and dvd connected to the RGB Scart (ext 1) on my Tosh 36ZT29B setup, I have to change 'digital input - 2' (from Features menu then AV connections) to 'Ext 1' so that the TV match the visuals from EXT 1 (DVD) to the DD stream via coaxial cable to DI-2.

Hope that helps if you haven't already tried that. :)

The problem was due to my DVD Player setting (PCM/Bit Stream).

With the correct setting , all was well.
