Difference between dolby digital 2/0 and 3/2.1 ch?

I played a SD-DVD which is suppose to show up as 5.1 CH but it reads as dolby 3/2.1 CH. I thought the 710 could do 5.1 on SD-DVDS?

3/2.1 is 5.1
3 channels in the front 2 channels in the back, and the .1 channel is the LFE channel.
If it was 7.1 it would show up as 3/4.1 which would be 8 channels instead of the 6 channels with 5.1

So then the Sony 710 that usually only does 2.0 CH PCM is really 5.1 CH if i get 3/2.1 CH DTS or dolby digital?

I would hate to hook up the 810 and have it say dolby 3/2.1 CH because if thats what 5.1 CH is then the 710 already has it..?

It is compressed DD or DTS or 2.0 PCM. No Multichannel PCM or TrueHD.
