This fucking sucks. So I have to get a new receiver. So anyone who buys a fucking player has to have a reciever with an HDMI in that processes audio? Yes, I'm a bitter guy right now. Fucking Blu ray.

DolbyTruHD can only send 2 channels over Toslink. PCM is only 2 channels to begin with, which is why your receiver says it's only getting 2 channels. Dolby TruHD can send all channels, but only through an HDMI 1.3 connection. If it goes over Toslink, it can only send over 2 channels. I'm wondering if when it sends the signal, it tells the receiver that it can send over 5 channels, but there's only enough bandwidth for 2. Not sure. I'm also not sure why you don't have this problem with your HD-DVD player. Does the HD-DVD player support Dolby TruHD? Ah, there’s your problem. DolbyTruHD can only send 2 channels over Toslink.

Both are connected via a monoprice HDMI switch to my Samsung TV. Both players are connected to my audio receiver via TOSLINK (ie optical).
