DolbyDigital support

I have my hd200 hooked up to my kuro pro 150 via hdim. On a pc in another room i have sagetv 6.5 running and all of my ripped dvds. When i play a movie via the extender i do not get surround sound. Stero shows up on my receiver only (pioneer elite vsx92thx). i am expecting 5.1 surround sound. Is this supported or is there a setting that needs to be set to get dolby digital? I have been impressed with hd200 and would really like to get surround to work. The network is all wired ethernet. thanks for any assistance

It's not clear but I guess you are connecting the HD200 with HDMI to the TV and by optical to your receiver.

In the audio settings for the HD you have to set bitstream rathen than PCM and make sure you have SPDIF enabled.

as lucas pointed out... in the setup for the HD200 (in standalone mode before it gets to client mode) make sure that the audio settings are set to hdmi and bitstream. LPCM will only send out stereo at the moment.
