It's maybe a total newbie remark/question, but at every movie I press on the "DISPLAY" button on my BR it prompts "Dolby Digtal 3/2.1".

Now, is that 'normal' or is there some setting I didn't set? I've tried everything, but I'm not getting any Dolby Digital 5.1 (or something like that). Or doesn't the DISPLAY button have to say something like 5.1?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Thats what you should see. Now you should see multichannel pcm on the 606. If you see neo6 or anything like that you will get compressed pcm. If you use Direct it levels all the speakers to the same setting. I use the audessy to make sure I get the best sound for my ears. Good luck
