I think Im getting 5.1 pcm out of my reciever but when i press audio it displays 2/3 Linear Pcm Englinsh 3/2.1 ch 48khz. I dont see 5.1 there or is the 3/2.1 actual 3 plus 2.1 equals the 5.1, just started messing around with this pcm stuff so wanted to double check with people.

What player?

What receiver?

What are your audio settings on said player?

What firmware version on the player?
