FINALLY - Got the 5.1 Surround Sound to work!
Getting 5.1 Surround Sound in my Monty has baffled me until now! I have discovered that for 5.1 sound out of the radio only, turn the radio on then hit the PLII button (also has the Dolby symbol) on your remote several times until you see "Matrix" on your radio display. You should then experience "surround sound". Similarly, if you want 5.1 Home Theater sound on your TV, make sure "Matrix" is selected on the radio then on the TV MENU go to the application MEDIA PLAY then AnyNet+ (HDMI-CEC) and make sure the Receiver setting is "ON". When it is on, you'll have 5.1 surround sound from your TV. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to save the settings. I have to go through the TV sound procedure every time I turn the TV on. And on a related matter, in case you've been wondering why your radio reception is crappy ... make sure the power booster is "ON" for radio (and "OFF" when you want TV). Perhaps most of you already are aware of these things but it wasn't exactly intuitive for me. Hopefully this will help a frustrated soul or two.
