How can I switch from Multi to 2 Channel?

[Metlupass2]

For some reason whenever my A30 is set to Multi, it will not output Dolby Digital through my reciever, only PCM stereo. I had it set to 2 channel and it was working great, but somehow, even though I didn't touch anything, it switched back to Multi and I can't figure out who to change it. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,
Jim

Are you using HDMI (I assume if you sending Multi Channel PCM you are using HDMI)? Are you talking about HD or SD?

If I remember correctly, on HD disc', I couldn't get anything besides PCM out of my A35. Even through Optical, that is supposed to send out DD 5.1, I could only get 2 channel PCM. I tried every setting. I tested with Top Gun, which has a TrueHD, DD+, and DD ES track. Maybe there was just an issue with something not reading the DD because of the ES flag, but all I could get was Multi/2 channel PCM. I never tried analog though. Didn't care though, I use Multi PCM over HDMI, I was just experimenting.

I believe Downmixed PCM is 2 channel PCM. Is that what your are using?

Its usually set on 2 channel. When its like that my reciever displays that its being played in Dolby digital
