no, does your receiver have a setting/listening mode for "multichannel LPCM"? if it does then select that. If it doesn't have the "multichannel" perhaps it has "direct", if it does have "direct" and not "multichannel" then use "direct", though, "multichannel is better in most cases" this way you will simply be listening to exactly what is being streamed by your source/player, in your case if your playing a blu with lossless codec, the player will decode it and send it to the receiver as a "multichannel LPCM" at however many channels it's supposed to give. you should not be getting 5 or 7.1 channels of stereo unless your source is sending you 5.1 channels of stereo (and who or why would it be doing or want that?) I'm not sure what "automatic" is doing, also make sure your player is set do do all decoding "onboard"
when everything is setup, you should be getting this light on your receiver (i hope) "multichannel LPCM" and your player should be displaying (when pressed) "the name of the codec, i.e. DD, DD+, DTS, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD-MA, but sending it out as a deacoded LPCM, you with me!?!
keep me/us posted.
