I recently upgraded my cable box and wanted to hook it up via its optical out to my 950. I did and now I'm just wondering what I'm supposed to be seeing on the display when watching programs. I turned on HDNet movie channel with Wayne's World which i thought would be dolby digital 5.1 but when I select the channel the 950 read PCM and 48z then switches automatically to PLll-C. I'm pretty sure I locked the data format on auto so I thought that Dolby D would be selected. Am I missing something or do most cable stations, even ESPN, not broadcast in dolby digital 5.1? I thought they did. It does sound good and I can cycle through the surround modes but DD and DD EX never show up. I have to turn off the cable box and set it before I turn it on. Just plain confused. thanks for any and all help.
