Sony STR-DH520 Pro Reviews

I pulled a Samsung BD player from my other system, but I continued to get the same results—no indication that the AVR was doing the decoding. After some back and forth with Sony, they insisted I hadn't set the BD player to send undecoded bitstreams. However, after they sent me a setup video, I noticed the AVR in the video was using the input labeled BD/DVD, whereas I had my source device connected to the input marked GAME because I had been using the PS3. I had simply connected the Samsung to the same input. Once I switched to the BD/DVD input, the AVR indicated it was decoding Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA. It never occurred to me this wouldn't work on all inputs. Sony insists that it does, but that was not my experience with the unit they sent me.
