Grab a couple of the sample trailers at

http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/trailers.php

(I favor the "DTS Piano" and the "Dolby Digital Egypt" pieces for testing
DTS and DD, myself) and try playing them with mplayer, xine, or the
internal myth player.  If your receiver has an indicator light to show what
kind of signal it's getting, it should light up.  (Mine does.)
