My 2014 3402RL came with a Sony TV and Sony Blueray player that is a combination BD player, radio, AV amp and internet media player. They connect the TV optical audio out to the optical audio in on the combo unit and now anything I watch on TV has 5.1 sound. So the Dish satellite that connects to the TV via HDMI still has 5.1 since the TV sends the audio to the combo. You can use the TV or Satellite remote to control the 5.1 because the Sony units communicate somehow.
