Ken,

I wasn't referring to full bandwidth stuff which is a whole other story. I just wanted to understand how the two formats feed the Coax/Toslink.

I have blu-ray discs that are several formats include one dics that says only LPCM. So what is coming out the optical output? Is Standard DD mandatory on all Blu-rays (even though it may not be listed on the cover)? Or is the player downmixing it to DD 5.1?

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