I have a Spectre 32 inch 1080p that is awesome as far as color quality and picture clarity. It actually has enough hook ups for my Wii, Blu Ray Player, cable box and my laptop when I want to watch HULU. The only problem I have is the audio. The tv will give me Dolby 5.1 surround sound from over the air stations (outdoor antenea hooked into tv with coax cable) when the audio is hooked into my HT by an optical plug. I have a choice in the audio part of my menu of my tv to change the SPDIF from PCM to RAW. When I change it to RAW is when I get the Dolby Digital 5.1.
But when I hook my blu ray and/or HD cable box into the tv with the sound (using component or HDMI) and using an optical plug back to HT all I get is Dolby 2.1 with the rear speakers reproducing the front speakers sounds. I cannot change the audio in the tv, it stays to PCM and is greyed out. If I hook the blu ray video into the tv with component cables and hook the audio directly (with optical plug) into the HT system I get DTS digital 5.1 surround. Same with the HD cable box, video to tv and audio into HT, I get DTS digital 5.1.
Any ideas on what the problem would why I cannot switch the sound from PCM to RAW in the audio portion of my tv menu when when the BR/HD cable boxs are hooked in?
