Warner really does need to let the player automatically start with TrueHD. I watched the entire Dark Knight movie in DD because I didn't know it was defaulting to that.
You serious? Did you think your system was running TrueHD when the disc started?

I CANNOT STAND this about Warner's Blu-ray releases; why have the disc default to a lossy Dolby Digital track? On my system, I can tell when the track begins and on what codec because my receiver will indicate "DOLBY D" with the little orange Dolby symbol light, so I know the Dolby Digital track will begin.

It REALLY takes you out of the experience when a disc starts and defaults to a Dolby Digital mix and then you have to either, as I said in the review, pause it and switch the track, or do it on the fly as the film is still playing -- this just sucks. I hope they can do something about this in future releases; I have complained via e-mail to them.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to reply.
