It is turned off.
Let me just try to quickly sum up my issue:
1) I receive HDTV OTA ATSC signal via HD5000
2) The first audio track says it's AC3 5.1
3) Receiver set to "AFD" - Auto Format Decode
4) When it receives the signal, the LCD on the receiver doesn't do
anything (doesn't say what kind of signal it is receiving" and I can
hear noice out of my left and right channels, but never the full
signal (missing voices, etc).
5) If I switch the receiver to "Normal Surround" I'll get the
channels, but the receiver NEVER says it's decoding AC3.
6) If I play a Standard Def recording from my PVR250/500, the receiver
will get the signal and say it's playing a PCM signal.
I think I'm going to submit a ticket, but before I do that, what else
should I do/try/troubleshoot?
Thanks!
Matt

Have you tried saving the stream to the HD, extracting some of the
audio and using a program (headac3he?) to break apart the stream and
see what it is you are actually getting? That would probably be better
than all of the guesswork going on here. At least at that point you
can know if the problem is the capture or the playback.<br>
