Using a 990 w Panasonic DMP BD10A into an Acuris 3 channel and 3 Marantz MA 500 mono blocks. When using optical (from BD to 990) I get 5 channel fine, same with comcast box using optical to 990. Not doing any video switching on 990...going direct to 60" samsung DLP with HDMI. When I switch to 7.1 direct on the 990 I get only stereo. I have 6 analog cables out of BD in to 990 and out to the amps. I've tried every setting there is and checked the cables a dozen times. I upgraded to the 990 for the 7.1 direct and all I get out of a BluRay disc is stereo. What in blazes could I have set wrong here, I can not get anything but stereo out of 7.1 direct. Currently the BD is set to bitstream. But I've tried PCM settings as well.
