Reason: s/pdif (the technical term for 'optical') carries a maximum of 2.0 pcm channels. Multichannel formats are carried as compressed streams - either AC3 (ie Dolby Digital) or DTS. But the compressed formats are carried within the 2.0 PCM channels - if that makes sense.
So try 2.0, or try 5.1.
I tried both 2.0 and 5.1. Same result, loud static.
Interestingly the receiver recognizes the signal as DD or DTS.
Anyone?
