I had this problem as described above with my Sony STR-K502P receiver which was part of the HTD-DW830 Sony home theatre system.
But the cause was that the LG DVD player a DVD-2360P had a default setting of Dolby digital on it's Digital output ports.
I had to go into the Setup menu on the DVD-2360P on page 37 of the users manual and change the Digital audio output to Stream/PCM from the default setting of Dolby Digital/PCM once this was done and the setting saved full DTS Audio was enjoyed from the home theatre system.
The Sony STR-K502P even auto detects the difference between Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Audio if either the Co-ax or Optical links are used between the DVD and the Receiver.
