OK, sorry I have been reading so many different sugestion on this forum and others. I rent my DVDs from blockbuster online. Their jacket for the movie does not indicate the audio format nor does the website. The link that you suggested seems to only have older movies not brand new releases so I am having problems right now knowing what the format is. Any suggest how I find out if a movie is in DTS or DD5.1 without the hard cover jacket? Isn't DTS a newer format? Are the newer movies coming out in DTS more than DD5.1? I agree I will probably have to buy a new reciever but it would be nice if Sony made the Blu-ray player capable of sending the signal in a format that could be used by all. Of course this is a vehicle for Sony to get people to purchase new recievers. Bottom line is before I purchase a new reciever I want to make sure it's not just a setting issue.
