It is a Sony W802A - it's optical output spec says - 2-ch Linear PCM; Dolby Digital
When I play a Netflix video (from the embedded capability in the TV) encoded with 5.1 sound, the Amp immediately switches to 5.1 channel Dolby Digital and shows all 6 inputs accordingly
(i.e. LF, C, RF, LR, RR, Sub). This is same as if I play from DVD or if there is 5.1 track on the receiver
With other source videos (or TV) it only shows the 2 channel inputs L & R
Also - my DirecTV receiver has optical into the Amp;
It additionally has HDMI into the TV; (and the TV is then output back into the Amp on another channel)
So I can play the DTV audio either directly through the input channel directly from the receiver, or via the TV and back in through another channel.
- regardless of whether I select the audio input from the Receiver directly, or via the TV (the HDMI in -> Optical Out) then the receiver successfully shows 5.1 channels INPUTS and switches to DOLBY Digital and outputs accordingly.
