I hope someone can help me with some trouble I have been having with my NAD T763 and setup with surround modes. I have a cheap Philips DVD player, that I intend on upgrading, but nonetheless I still can't get the surround sound features as provided within the T763 and as I desire.
At this stage I can only get "stereo" when I play: a music CD; radio through the built in FM receiver; iPOD through RCA. When I play a DVD I get "downmix" but no other surround options. When I press the "surround mode" button or access this through NAD setup through the monitor I have no other options than these the setup won't let me change.
I have all of my speakers connected through banana clips to "Speakers A". I am using a digital coaxial cable from my DVD player to the "Digital In" coaxial 3 which is also set to my DVD player in the setup menu, and I have all of the volumes turned up on all channels, and all of the Dolby and DTS functions set to on and the receiver to 5.1/2.0. When playing a movie or listening to music when I press the "display" button it reads 2.0/0.0
The Dolby sign comes up when I put a DVD in but I cant ge't any other surround modes out of my NAD other than "downmix". Last night I managed to get my active sub working, that was just a volume thing, but I have not managed to get my centre or surrounds working. I do not have a DTS DVD player but I should still have more surround options available other than stereo as I shoild be able to get: stereo; downmix; Dolby Pro Logic II; DTS Neo:6; EARS; Matrix 7.1; Enhances-Stereo 1 (ST1); Enhances-Stereo 2 (ST2).
I am unsure of what version my firmware is as I have not managed to connect via my computer as of yet to find out.
