To the best of my knowledge, you can't get 5.1 or 7.1 HD audio through
a coax or optical connector. My understanding is that that is what you
wanted.

Sure you can. I get Dolby Digital etc for optical and coaxial digital
outputs all the time at work.

Note that I said (see above) HD Audio.

I checked this in my Sony user manual before posting, and I believe it's
correct. (You'd never know from the manuals, as they tell you next to
nothing.)


Ignorant of "HD" audio apparently.

Apologies.
