So, would changing the HDMI connection to a SPDIF optical connection make a positive difference?

Thanks
On VM, no SD channels have 'proper' 5.1 sound. So, you have to put up with a Matrixed solution such as Neo 6 or PL11.

Try a HD channel that is showing a show that has Dolby 5.1 and see how that sounds.


Just thought; there is a setting thst you have to change on the V+ to get 5.1 sound, something to do with 'override' or something (Don't have a V+ now). Make sure that is correctly set. It still won't give you proper 5.1 on SD channels though.
