I just got my +HD box this afternoon. I've connected it up and gone through the overly-complicated setup procedure.
It's all running fine now, apart from I am not getting surround sound from the box. It's connected via HDMI to my amp, which is then connected to my TV via HDMI. The only way I can get sound is to disable the amp, and go through the TV speakers, which is obviously not to my liking and pretty much defeats the object of having a HD source in the first place.
I've looked online and apparently in the Sound menu on the box I should be able to select Dolby Digital via either HDMI or Optical out. This option is not there however. I only have Dolby Digital on or off. The optical is on too as I took the cover off and I can see the red light.
Can anybody shed any light? I've been searching online, to no avail. TBH I'm not going to be pleased if I have to use TOSlink as, the representative on the phone assured me this would not be the case.
