When TV manufacturers compile their specification data, why don't they state whether or not the digital audio out is capable of DD 5.1?. In subsection CONNECTIONS or INPUTS/OUTPUTS JACKS we usually just get 'x 1'.
Not until I purchased my current Sony KD-49XF9005 and read the User Manual stating on the specs page did I read:-
'Digital optical jack (Two channel linear PCM 48kHz 16 bits, Dolby Digital, DTS).' This shows up as DD Pro Logic on my amp display. (DD5.1 is also indicated by a bright blue LED Bar when I watch a program via my Virgin Media V6 STB).
At present I am considering upgrading to a 55" Panasonic HZ1500 or HZ2000 OLED and neither of the TVs specs state that DD5.1 is available via he optical out connection. I am presently waiting for Panasonoc support to answer my enquiry about this matter.
Finally does any TV model provide DD5.1 via Optical output?.
Edited to clarify the query.
