Connected V6 to amplifier via HDMI
Amp is set to auto decode the input.
Display shows as 'PCM' (2.0) sound is only from front main 2 speakers.
If I connect another source (DVD for example) using the same HDMI input on the amp,
Display shows 'Dolby Digital' and sound is output to all (5.1) speakers.
The only setting I can see on the V6 for this is the sound setting:
"Dolby Digital" or "Dolby Digital & PCM"
I have tried both with the same result.
I cannot get the audio from the V6 to output as Dolby Digital.
Can you offer any advise please?

The correct setting on the V6 is 'Dolby Digital' - but you will still get PCM on the SD channels and also ITVHD as that is how they are broadcast.
Best channels to check from are the Sky HD channels.

Oh really that's rubbish. The same channels on Freeview & Freesat decode to Dolby at 5.1.
I will test this out, but you are saying that all HD channels apart from ITV HD should output Dolby audio?
