I just hired a copy of the movie "Australia" for my better half to watch on a wet Sunday afternoon. Having recently purchased a receiver capable of decoding the new HD formats (Onkyo TX-SR606) I was looking forward to seeing how it went with a lossless format. However the 606 stubbornly remained in DTS only. After much twiddling, confirming settings on the player (bitstream, 2nd audio off, etc) and the receiver (dts, hdmi audio, etc) it dawned on me that maybe there was no DTS-MA track on the disk.
A quick net search came up with several threads where region B blu-ray disks don't have the audio tracks that their dust jackets say they have. The most recent being "Twilight" in Aussie, according to one thread.
Fox was particularly mentioned and "Australia" is a 20thCentury/Fox product.
Before I leap off and complain to the Commerce Commission I would like to confirm it is the disk and not my setup. Owners of the Panna BD35 and Onkyo 606 may be able to save me some embarrassment if there is something obvious I have missed.
So anyone who owns this disk (or has run into the same thing with a rental) can you confirm the existence of a HD audio track on it? The disk has DTS-HD(masteraudio) printed on it which just adds to the frustration.
