I want to get a new Samsung TV. However, I have seen that this DTS is no longer supported. What does that mean exactly?
Could I connect my laptop or a NAS via HDMI to the TV and watch a movie about it with DTS or would not it work?
The sound I would like to spend on Soundbar, which is connected to the HDMI with the TV.
If your planned TV set does not support a DTS (Digital Theater System) anymore, then you have to see if the video / or audio material offers alternatively also Dolby Digital for the audio playback.
If not, you will need to get an audio converter tool for your PC so that you can convert the DTS audio signal to Dolby (AC3).
Let's take one of the newer Samsung devices. There's no DTS support.
The fact that I use a laptop or NAS and set up the connection via HDMI, so I do not use the Samsung internal media player, but the laptop or NAS.
Is the audio still not supported? In addition, yes the sound on the soundbar run.
If the soundbar has an internal receiver and amplifier, then you only have to look there if your receiver supports DTS. You also have to see if your laptop supports DTS. Then you have to look in doubt, if you need to connect your soundbar directly to the notebook, if the DTS audio signal can't be looped through the TV.
In the least case, however, simple stereo playback would have to be possible.
Samsung 's unwillingness to provide DTS support has been known for some time with new devices. (because Samsung just wants to save royalties)
"if the DTS audio signal can't be looped through the TV"
That's exactly what I would like to know before buying. Can it be looped through or not?
I thought the lack of DTS support limits me only if I go directly to the TV via USB.
DTS is a standalone audio codec and has nothing to do with USB or HDMI in signal transmission. I can't tell you whether DTS code can be looped through a modern Samsung TV.
In case of doubt, you then have to look for TVs from other manufacturers than Samsung, which support not only the standard stereo and Dolby but also DTS for audio playback.
