Unicus69 or skipnet50 could help if they find their copy

No one owns this ?  Just Cars and The Incredibles.. ?

The maddening thing about  this is,, when you cue up the movie to start, ,you are at first stuck with some Disney Promos.., Then the Disney advertisments kick in.., at this point the remote control  allows you to by-pass these half dozen promos.., Then you finally get to the animated full motion main menu..,  Of course you find and hit Play,, This gets you to the start of the movie,, only to figure out that the movie is only in dolby surround, !!  ?  , no 5.1..?  , Hit Menu again..,,  and wait for animated menu to play and stop... You then have to figure out that the next menu stop you need is  Languages., this opens up another full motion animated menu ...you then have to wait a few seconds for the sound and animation to stop..... then find 5.1 ( EX ,) btw which is kicka$$  6.1 sound .. and at this point of this evening the family is ready to kill you ... !  and not the video.. 

Sorry, can't say. My R3 has only the 5.1 track.

can't you switch sound directly on your dvd player with the remote when the movie starts?
mine has a button audio. that switches between audio formats and the languages.

UOP might prevent that. Happens mostly if some audio tracks have so-called "forced" subtitles for on-screen text.

Together with the 2.0 default, that seems like someone's warped idea of a user-friendly family disc.

99% of most dvd's I can do this,, switching audio vetween 5.1/ dolby and commentary on the fly,, but there are a few dvd's  now that are locked down and when audio is pressed I get a little red symbol with with a line thru it,, kinda like no smoking symbol .  Even thru the PC using PowerDVD6 the audio portion is greyed out, meaning no acccess to audio unless thru the Menu.

browsing thur Max's  list I don't see Ratatouille ... ?

No...I don't own Ratatouille. I was merely commenting on the abilities of my remote/DVD audio function. Never had a problem with any of my titles in switching between audio formats. I suppose Ratatouille would be the exception then.

I did a quick check on your titles.,, check your copy of Kingdom of Heaven., You'll see that you cannot 'on the fly' adjust the audio language, from the DVD remote control, you must go into the main menu of DVD  and find and set  your audio from there..

You're right, I'm unable to change the audio format on the fly on Kingdom of Heaven . But I just purchased Ratatouille and it does default to 2.0 but I am able to change it to 5.1 on the fly.

My standard DVD defaults to dolby 2.0. Noticed it for the second just 2 days ago. The first time I didn't notice till I was done watching it. It Has to be a authoring problem. No way a company like disney would go to the trouble  to put a 5.1 EX soundtrack on a modern movie and have it default to 2.0.
Just My .02 cents.
