I am using HT IV 300 and TS HD. Forgot to mention it in previous post.

May be its HDMI or HT issue as its same with other DTH also. I got low audio in all speakers when I was using HDMI ARC, after connecting Optical cable the quality improved abd volume also became louder

I know bro this is about Sun Direct. What I mean to say is may be its HDMI or HT issue as its same with other DTH also. I got low audio in all speakers when I was using HDMI ARC, after connecting Optical cable the quality improved abd volume also became louder

I was using Airtel on HDMI cable and there was no such issue. Because, Airtel doesn't do anything with the Audio. They transmit as is from broadcaster. However, TS and Sun Direct are fiddling with the audio in the middle by trying to upscale it to Dolby Digital Plus which is why there seems to be an issue. If I'm right, Optical does not support advanced sound technologies and hence gives the original Dolby Digital audio which is why the volume and quality would be more on it. Let me confirm it tomorrow once I receive the cable.

Optical does not support Dolby digital plus

Optical does not support Dolby digital plus

And that is why the issue is not there on it I guess.
