    It's odd that even with the 811 off the TOSlink port on the back panel glows red. But my AV receiver gets DD 5.1 with my other dish receiver a 501 DVR. Then I just unplug the 501 and plug the cable into the 811 and no DD sound. Same settings all the way around and same DD program. My Onkyo...

    811 Dolby Digital output Issues

    Yes any sound source should come out the TOSlink port. As a matter of fact you should be able to have it as the only sound coming out of the 811. Do take care when plugging in the TOSlink into the back of the 811. It takes a little more push then others devices. You should feel a snap. You can...
