Does this player really not support DTS at all?

Nope. It is an amplified speaker system, not a player. No DTS. If you're into DTS and think DTS is the only way to get good sound, it's not for you. But if you want great, loud, room-filling, full-range audio in a single box that requires only one wire to hook up, it's a very good option.

ZBOX has limitations on kinds of audio signal it can decode. However, as long as your source can recode its output, or you select Dolby Digital 5.1 as a soundtrack in disc settings, you should be fine.

The ZVOX 580 does a VERY good job at what it was designed to offer; that is, provide improved sound for listeners with impaired hearing. My wife has 65% hearing loss. This amplifier enhances speech and the lower tones that she can still receive. Frankly, while the amplifier performs well, its primary application is not meant for high-quality sound reproduction (the intended users could benefit little from that). So DTS is not all that important. I suggest you go to the website and read more about the equipment.

I find this player has difficulties with many video disks. I've never had the courage to try CDs; it seems praejudiced against those DVDs burned in my computer's optical drive but it is not consistent in its dislikes.

Amazon is a problem with this player. My player does not support it at all.

It will decode Dolby Digital 5.1 and down-mix it to 2.1. It will not decode DTS.

Yes, supports, but I never saw any tv signal with DTS channels, if you are trying to buy it form home media purpose, I would suggest to search for a better option

NEC has developed a chip that will allow one player to play both formats. LG has plans to actually manufature such a player too, but don't count on one of the players being available for another year or two.

Chris , awesome u got an 1222K. Its a great AVR. Go to a thred just on our receiver? Its called avr 1222k . Go to this? U can have any question answered to our AVR. ...But the answer to ur question is only comes on when ur playing something thats picking up one of the signals including ur DTs-HD.. So as long as ur playing something thats sending one of the Dolby signal.... Good luck Chris.

I just bought a DB30K player. I freaked out when I saw your post. What LFE issue are you talking about and how will it affect a novice user?Michael

I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer as I have not used the player in that fashion.

No, but DTS-HD has a DTS core that will play fine on your DTS receiver. However if your receiver does not support DTS at all you won't be able hear anything unless the bluray or dvd has a different audio track or your player will down-convert for you. All Dolby True-HD blurays I have, also have a Dolby Digital track as well.

I heard that they released a firmware update for the older WDAVN00BN model that supports DTS, is that true?

Sorry but I'm not qualified to answer that question. Ut was a simple swap out for me.

I don't know, I've applied this update http://www.wdc.com/en/products/wdtv/ but does not says anything about DTS, and my Home Theather does the decoding via optical audio input (toslink)

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

If you are asking if it decodes 7.1 DTS and has 8 discrete outputs for the total of 8 channels, then the answer is no. I don't know of any BD player that does this. Maybe one of the very expensive players does. Just look at a picture of the back - does it have outputs for 8 channels.

Yes it does. You can also download or create a team that has the current players on it.
