Re: Possible Solution to BV 7 PCM problem

I would be surprised if this software will give anything more than 2 channel pcm, to get multi channel (5.1 or 7.1) uncompressed pcm requires an hdmi cable because of the amount of sound data coming from the source which would currently be a blu-ray player only or maybe an HD DVD but not sure. Optical / spdif does not have enough capacity to carry multi channel pcm.

Cheers

I saw the reply. The bits that come with the software make no mention that it fixes that issue so I will be interested to see if it does!

Possible Solution to BV 7 PCM problem

Guys have just recived this from a guy called Dirk on another website. I will contact my dealer and ask if this can be done and i will info you straight away. Here is the reply i got......

Hi Mr. Carl, PCM calls "Pulse Code Modulation" or LPCM for "Linear Pulse Code Modulation". The Systems NTSC and/or PAL absolutely needed the PCM (2 channels). A new SW, I mean "Software (7.5)" is now available for the BV 7 to solve this problem Nr. 8 ! Your Dealer can it be update via PUC (or STB)
Kind regards, Dirk

lets hope and pray it works.
