I'm an old Analog Sound guy, from way back. But, here's something I didn't know... Getting True 5.1 or greater Surround Sound to play on your Surround Sound Audio System. Is not as simple, as just Connecting your DVD player with either a single digital coaxial or optical digital cable from the DVD player's digital output jack to the digital input that corresponds to the DVD input on the A/V receiver. There's another Step you need to check, every time you Play a DVD... "Don't forget to go to the DVD menu and click on Audio Setup and 5.1-channel surround sound every time you load a DVD. You've paid for all those multiple channels of sound reproduction, and you deserve to hear the movie the way it was mixed." Read the How To, I found...

How to Get Dolby Digital
5.1 Channel Surround

Here's a surprisingly common problem—You've set up your new Dolby Digital/dts A/V receiver, Axiom 5.1-channel home theater surround system and DVD player, popped in a DVD, and pressed “Play.” The movie starts, the sound from your main stereo speakers is great, but somehow the surround effects seem to be lacking . . .

You panic! Is my new receiver defective? Is the hookup wrong? Maybe the surround levels need adjustment? Aren't these new “multipolar” surround speakers supposed to be all enveloping, immersing me in an involving and realistic soundfield? Did I position them incorrectly?

I answer email questions about this all-too-common scenario every week. The last query was from a user whose new A/V receiver wouldn't switch into the Dolby Digital mode, and refused to display “Dolby Digital” on its front panel. He also was disappointed with what few surround effects he could hear.

The truth of the matter is he wasn't hearing any surround effects at all--because his new A/V receiver wasn't operating in Dolby Digital 5.1! He was listening to the movie in stereo because he hadn't set up the DVD player's menu to output a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital bitstream, and he hadn't connected the DVD player's digital output jack to the A/V receiver's digital input.

Now, here's how to do it correctly (the following instructions assume that you own a Dolby Digital/dts 5.1 to 7.1-channel A/V receiver with digital inputs and a DVD player with a digital output jack, either coaxial or optical or both):
