I set up my PS3 to output DD/DTS and put in DD and DTS discs and my 568 read PCM Mov2 and produced sound except NO CENTER CHANNEL.

With my PS3 with BDs the 568 correctly reads PCM Mov6 and produces correct sound.

All source connections direct to the HD621, the HD621 set to pass DD and DTS and Type0 selected.

Has anyone been able to get the 621 to pass DD5.1/DTS5.1???

I think I have. :-) At first I ran the TIVO through my Radiance and had problems. I now have the TIVO box connected directly to the HD621. The reason I'm not sure that everything is ok is that many times when the broadcast information says that a program is broadcast in DD stereo, the stream display on my G68 shows AC3 3/2.1 which is DD 5.1. Don't know what to make of it but the G68 sees a multichannel stream and applies an MC DSP.

Are you sure how your DISH handles sound streams? With my TIVO you can only set it to DD or PCM. In the latter case it down samples DD5.1 to pcm 2.0.

Did you check in your mconfig to make sure that the source is the appropriate mulitchannel digital input on your 568? I'm not sure how the mconfig works with the 568 but there is a funny glitch with the 68s and 861s. When you make the connection with the HD621 it defaults to last valid which in my case resulted in only 2 channels coming through instead of 6.
