This may be the wrong forum area to pose my question/problem.
I have a problem with outputing 5.1 sound using a Comcast Motorola 6200 STB.
I'm using a toslink digital cable to connect to my AVR receiver from the STB. The only selection on the receiver that responds is for "Analog" and not "Optical". also there is no sound when using the toslink cable connection.
My dvd player is connected to the receiver with a toslink digital audio cable and that works fine. It connects with the "Optical" setting.
I'm aware that not all channels broadcast with 5.1, so I ensure that Itune to a channel like Showtime HDTV which has the 5.1 symbol.
I have the cable folks coming today to check on the problem. Not sure if it is the cable box or my cable. Although when the toslink cable is connected to the cable box, there is light coming through the cable to the other end.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tony
