I only have 2 sources connected at the moment, and this is what the display reads on the 861v4:

DISH MHR Movie2 96K (Trified)
HDDVD MHR Music6 96K (Discrete)

Both sources set to PCM.

These are the settings on the HD621:
Audio Output: Smartlink/MMHR
MHR Connection: Smartlink
Linear PCM: 6 Ch
Dolby Digital 5.1: Yes
ACC (unchecked): No
DTS 5.1 Ch: Yes
Output Rate 2x (96K): Yes
MHR: Yes

DSP Presents for both DISH and HDDVD:
2ch Music: Trifield
M/ch Music: Dicrete
2ch Movie: PLII Movie
M/ch Movie: Cinema

From what I've read here and on the manual, these settings should be correct. So I'm not sure why, even when watching an HBO or HDNET program I'm not getting Cinema or Discrete as I expected (these being multi-channel programming).

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
