BDP-S6700 Netflix - No DD+

[TinTime]

I've just got a BDP-S6700. The Netflix app outputs Dolby Digital, not Dolby Digital Plus, for some reason. Is this by design? My previous player (BDP-S1500) output DD+ fine from Netflix without converting it.

Hi - thanks for that, but I've already tried it. The player bitstreams audio from other sources fine, including DD+ from the Amazon app. It's not the end of the world, and I can live with it. It just seems like an odd design decision, especially as the older, supposedly inferior, Sony model I owned did this fine. The old model also supported DTS-HD in an mkv container which the new model doesn't, but that's a gripe for another post.

Cheers for your help.
