The TV offers PCM and RAW output. RAW passes the audio signal through<br>
without processing so as long as you're sending 5.1, you get 5.1 out.<br>

This is not what's happening with either the Sony or Samsung I own...<br>
They only ever output stereo when connected via HDMI to another<br>
source... they never passthrough anything<br>

Per the manual for my Sammy, this is the case as well, it will output AC3 only from OTA. Any digital audio input is sent out as two channel.<br>

I'm thinking that it was done to appease the various media mafias, can't think of any other reason for it.</blockquote><div><br>Well I've been thinking of channeling my spdif through my sony tv and out to my surround amplifier so I don't need the surround system on all the time, and simpler people can use the tv remote to adjust the volume, as they expect. However this thread has scuppered that idea!<br>
