Should I get 5.1 Audio on my AV System with Optical Out from Roku TV?

Jump to solution

Sharp Roku TV LC-50LBU711U - Sony AV System STR-KS360

Connected Optical Output from TV to Optical Input on AV system only displays R, L & Subwoofer.

I was hoping to get 5.1 audio, since I'm watching 5.1 movies.

My AV System doesn't have an ARC input.

Playing Blu-Rays from my Player to AV System provides 5.1 audio via HDMI, so I know it works.

Am I missing something?

Cheers!

Well I answered my own question. 

Menu selections

Setup

Audio output - Optical

Audio output - Digital Audio - Custom - Dolby - Dolby Digital Plus

Audio output - Digital Audio - DTS - On 

I now have 5.1 audio on my AV system.

Cheers!
