How can I get this player to output surround sound options for my discs (eg. 5.1, 6.1, etc.)?

Sorry this took so bloody long (if you'll pardon my French). On the back of the unit you will find a bank of 5.1 outputs (there are none for 6.1); using a 5.1 cable (not supplied, naturally), connect these to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier / receiver. Or, if your amplifier / receiver is so equipped, you can use the coaxial connection (coaxial cable also not supplied). Hope this helps. My first thought was to refer you to the User Manual, but that woulda been snarky, and anyway the darn thing is so confusing it should be called a Useless Manual. But anyway, ciao for now!

I have the optical output from the unit connected to the Optical input of the amplifier and use a 7.1 setup--Most Blu Ray is 5.1 but now and then some of them are 7.1--Sounds fine--

I don't yet own this surround unit, but I think you have to purchase a separate HDMI cable. I purchased the wrong Panasonic Blue Ray player and found it didn't have the HDMI connection, so I returned it.

Do you have the usb cord connected to a wall adapter? Under settings, accessories Hdmi- audio settings try toggling that between Surround and stereo

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

I have the RCA output of the DVD player hooked direct into the input of the eq. It label well on the back of the eq. Use a good set of RCA

You might try upgrading the firmware on your current player -- that may solve your disc compatibility problems

Hi there, if you have your tv and movies also attached via digital or optical audio, you will get 5.1 surround on your system if it is broadcast in 5.1. If you want equal sound from all speakers, as 7.1 and 5.1 are quite discrete and are only truly noticeable when movement or something like a loud explosion occurs, then cycle through the audio options of the receiver until you find the mode that gives the sound you are looking for. I usually set my receiver to DVD direct and it will send sound as recorded on the DVD. If you want other modes, look in the manual under the different audio modes and pick the one you like best. I hope that helps a bit and doesn't add to the confusion. True HD, I believe is only sent over HDMI that carries both video and audio. I may be wrong, and digital or audio will do this also. I have had the pleasure of DTS experience through 7.1 and it is incredible. Haven't played with True HD yet. you may want to check out AVS forums for more understanding of HT.

You have to manually set what surround setting you want, it does not automatically detect it. I think that's what you were asking and I hope it helps.

Yes, it supports Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS Neo:6 to expand stereo sources to 5.1 or 7.1 surround output. You can select from Dolby PLIIx Movie, Dolby PLIIx Music, Dolby PLIIx Game, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or DTS Neo:6 Music as the listening mode. If you don't have surround back speakers, the receiver automatically selects Dolby Pro Logic II for 5.1 surround when selecting a Dolby Pro Logic IIX listening mode.

It appears the Amazon App on the Roku can not do Surround Sound, or 5.1. Standard stereo works.

Hi Paul Beauparlant,Here are the options that you need to check for you to have sound. Digital Audio Output, Dolby D Compatible Output, Audio DRC and Downmix. Thanks. >Joffrey

I had the same problem at first. You need to use the remote and adjust the dbs level for all speakers and set your bass and treble tones for your liking... If your dvd player or gaming system has a digital out via optical or coax use it! 35 sounds like 50 now you also get true surround. You may need to set your dvd player to 5.1 digital as well. I have my xbox 360 and hd driver hooked into the sony w/ a optical cable, and my dish network installed w/ rca cables. (your sony booklet shows you how to adjust all your levels w/ the remote)

Hello Albert, The software that came with the sound card does have an option for that. Under advanced features it says "Play stereo mix to digital output" Hope this can clear things up.

I can't get this fixed either! I've had many 5.1 dvd players and this issue is new. Did anyone get fixed???
