What are you watching?

you have to set the TV's digital audio output setting to Bitstream (or may say Dolby)

I'm watching Digital TV and the output is set to Dolby Digital, Also my PS3 runs into the TV via HDMI but the TV will not pass out the DD over optical to the reciever??????

Do you have a digital television receiver with optical outs, or is this over the air?

first, let me just say running audio from the TV to the Receiver introduces problems with audio playback. It would be ideal to run the Optical cable from the PS3 directly to the receiver. If your receiver only has one optical input, you can always buy an optical switcher.

that being said, the audio going from the PS3 via HDMI into the TV is coming in as 2 channel PCM and is why you are getting stereo output.

I know that my tv only uses the optical to output ota broadcasts and doesn't pass anything else.

I know in my area you have to have an HD receiver to recieve DD 5.1. I am not sure if they pass DD OTA?
