hi everyone, first post here.
i just purchased an lg ln5400 tv. it has hdmi in and digital optical sound out.
here's my system, hdmi from att u-verse into ln5400 tv. optical out to harmon kardon avr110 receiver. sony bdp s-3100 blu ray hdmi into ln5400 tv. i also have coaxial out from blu ray to hk receiver.
my problem is that just having the hdmi from the blu-ray to the tv and the optical out to the receiver does not give me a dolby digital or dts 5.1 signal. it maxes out on the receiver as dolby pro logic. dolby digital and dts are not able to be selected. i can only get those by switching to the coax input. that means that anything broadcast from u-verse (or on demand content) can't be listened to with dolby digital or dts 5.1.
shouldn't the hdmi to optical out pathway allow dolby digital and dts on the receiver? is this a problem with the tv optical output or the receiver optical input?
thanks
