OK - I see now.  That one video is encoded AAC level 4 - my camcorder.
 Other videos that are DTS or AC3 encoded require "stereo" to be
configured to play on this TV.

Is there a know way to make them all happy at once?  If I play the AC3
or DTS encoded ones, I only get the channels my TV supports (L/R)
played unless it is stereo.

Thanks
