Even more annoying is that they send that EX flag down automatically with a lot of their programming. If I want to matrix my surround back channels, I'll do it myself.
Do you know if the 722 sends the full audio coding up the HDMI to the TV?
I'd rather use one digital out from the TV no matter what the source is (722 or Blu-Ray/DVD). So, I was wondering if this will get passed through my Sony Bravia or if I need to wire the 722 and the Blu Ray separately to my receiver.
I was trying to test this last night by looking for a movie that had "(DD)" listed in the info, but I didn't find any. So, I assumed they stopped tagging movies in this fashion.
Thanks!

I have a nice receiver, but it doesn't switch/route HD video.
Thus, one digital audio out from the TV is best for me. Makes the remote control situation easier as I can just leave the receiver on one setting and switch inputs on the TV.
So, any idea if the TV passes the DD?
Most tv's will not do this. They tell the sending device they have stereo speakers and the device sends the audio as such. It's better to go to the audio receiver first and then run video from it to the tv if you need the surround sound capability.
Ah, I see. Maybe time to invest in a new receiver
just kidding. What is the model of your TV? It should say whether it will do what you want or not in the specs. I have a feeling that it won't, but without checking we won't know.
Pro Logic is what your receiver does when presented with stereo.
Multichannel concert videos are still surpisingly uncommon.
I thought this was why ProLogic II was out there - so that it could matrix stereo to a decent surround mix.

Thanks. And apologies for hijacking the thread. Just saw the OP question and it reminded me of my own!
I suppose I can check an online manual. The onscreen manual was mostly worthless and if a detailed manual came with the set, I couldn't find it. Could have been swiped by a 2 year old, but all I see are basic connection and turn on instructions. Not the details needed for this answer.
I have the KDL-60NX801 (same as the NX800, which may be easier to find)
rare
It would be a rare TV that would output anything other than 2.0. Manufacturer's are selling you a TV not a switcher or a surround sound system.
Rave found it and HDNet and T101 show also... I think it may be a "content" thing like many movies that are shown in 2.0 that you know have 5.1 on the premiums...
And then there's the loud-ass commercial interruptions (selling a tomato slicers) in the middle of playing a concert...(God, I miss Rave...):rant:
You are correct - the manual which came with the set is a joke, but, Sony has a very helpful internet chat support option and the guy confirmed this. 2 channel output only. What a complete waste of an optical output port! :rant:
all new tv's are like this... the optical port will output 5.1, but from the internal tuner only (OTA)... MPAA is to thank for this
I have a receiver w/ only 1 optical input, so it's either the 622 or the PS3... PS3 won 
Output to a receiver
He wanted an optical output to go to a surround sound receiver. Not the internal decoder for the sound bars. BTW I said rare TV so that covered my assets.
