You don't say if the 'toslink' sends both stereo and surround as
stereo spdif, or sends the surround as 'bitstream'. I'll assume the
former for what I say below...

There are a number of options in the TV menu for the digital output.
Most of which I don't understand. It is set to PCM and stereo.

OK. In theory that should be fine. But as you see, in practice... :-/

If you're interested, I'll wright them all down.

Ahem. You may have Bill in mind, there. ;-

The STB seems to have less options - although I'm using HDMI via the TV
for it rather than its Toslink to the external sound system.

It depends how the options are described. Not sure I'll know what some
would do!

It may be that some other option fixes the behaviour. The difficulty is
that the descriptions may not really explain anything that would give a
clear clue. But if there aren't too many, if you list them I or someone
else may spot a likely candidate.

Are there any options wrt surround-stereo mixdown or reprocessing?
