There is actually little value hooking your sat box audio to HD621. As carl suggested it may not even support bitstream (dolby digital) over HDMI. For most customers HDMI is hooked to a tv with 2 speakers. So when they say pcm. It means 2 channels.

Keep in mind for sat/cable, toslink low bitrate dolby digital is "high end". They focus on quantity rather than quality for joe six pack.

The only audio that benifits from HD621 is a Bluray or hddvd player.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
