The biggest one for me: WHY the fuck do BD movies output at 2.1?? They won't work using Linear PCM (as in, no sound at all) and if you choose Bitstream my surround sound (and from what I've read I'm not alone) outputs at 2.1. This doesn't happen to me with PS3 or when playing games on PS4.

They need to fix that with the next FW update.

You need to set it to bitstream while a movie is playing:

When playing a movie on blu-ray or DVD, the AV receiver may only detect Linear PCM (Stereo) even if the audio on the movie is set to Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1. To correct the issue:

  1. When the disc is playing, press Options
  2. Go to the Settings menu
  3. Under Audio Format, select Bitstream (Direct)

This solution will save the audio format for future reference when playing DVD or blu-ray movies.
