I'm surprised that you can get any DTS Audio disks to play at all. DVD ought to be OK, so long as it is not blu-ray and not encoded in something like DTS.

Do you have some specific examples?

I do recall buying a Samsung surround sound sys that had an ipod adaptor and it advertised it as such.....

once home though I tried it and started reading the manual and it would only play a very few types of music.... not even mp4 !!!! so I returned it...

in our case, we've gotten the ipod's to play it all in the Q
(once I get by the horrible itunes program )

Did you say if these were original disks ? or copies ? How about the region on them ? us or otherwise ?

Have you tried the various alternate sound tracks on the DVD-Audio disks?

I don't have and DVD audio disks, but I tried some DVDs. I found that I could get both Dolby and DTS to decode with no problem. I am guessing that the Zappa DVD-A disk has been encoded only in MLP, a lossless compression scheme. This compression is not backward compatible with DVD specifications that require a standard coding scheme on the disk such as LPCM or basic DD.

Many DVD-A disks have several different coding tracks (as do many different video DVD) and you can choose which one you wish to play. Looking though the doc that came with my MMI there is nothing to indicate that DVD-A is supported (the same is true with SACD). Just as with Bluetooth streaming. Of course this is not necessarily true for the MMI specs north of the border.

And I'd be pretty sure that DTS HD Master Audio, as well as DD True HD also won't decode.

Finally (just a guess) I suppose that the DVD player gets confused when changing tracks and the software that prevents video from playing when you driving, gets confused when the tracks change, and that is why you have to stop to change tracks.
