Question About 211 HDMI Output

[Don M]

Does the HDMI out on the 211 transmit both the HD video as well as the 5.1 audio? Is a digital optical or connection necessary for 5.1 audio?

The answer is the same as for your 622 in your other thread.....

Yes; and no a toslink cable isn't necessary...

Thanks for the info.

My HDMI from the 211 does not spit out 5.1. I have to use the TOSLink to get the 5.1 working. Anybody know if there's a setting I need to adjust to make 5.1 come out of the HDMI??
