Hello,
hope i can get help here
i just bought a BD-E5300 because it was on special for ? 59. The player directly offered me an update from firmware version 1005 to 1006, so it is on firmware 1006 now.
Now I have a problem with re-encoding Audio to Dolby Digital. As my AV-Receiver is just able to play DD and no DTS i thought the perfect option for me is to select "Re-encoding to DD" in Audio menu. But if i do so, it doesn't work.
If i choose PCM it works in the right way, i can play video files with DTS sound and also DD ones. But when i choose "Bitstream (Dolby Digital Re-encoded)" just the files work which have Dolby Digital (AC3) Sound in original. Files with DTS sound are just played without sound. When i choose "Bitstream (DTS Re-encoded)" it's exactly the same thing. DD files are played correctly, DTS ones are having "no sound". So it seems like both options are handled as i'd have choosen "Bitstream (untouched)", but i haven't!
That's really annoying cause i can't get surround sound from DTS material in that way. So i was asking myself if there maybe is another firmware for that player and looked on Samsung's homepage for one. When i choose the BD-E5300 i can see that 2009 is the newest firmware for that model, but when i download and try to install, the player says me the firmware is not for this model.
In the firmware menu i can see that my one is named "BSP-E5400WWB-1006.0" which is very confusing in my eyes because i bought a BD-E5300.
Anybody any idea or can somebody tell me if DTS re-encoding works for him and with which firmware?

Re: BD-E5300 problem with re-encoding to DD
I have similar problem of firmware showing as e5400wwb-1006.0. My bluray player is deginitely a e5300 howrver it picked up an update online and is now showing the 5400 firmware. Samsung customer support could not help me as they are confused as well about this issue. I was hoping to be able to add more Apps to my e5300 spart from the Youtube app which comes eith the player. Does anyone know if ths is posdible on e5300 bluray player?
