samsung tv and dolby surround

i have a new samsung tv and blu-ray player. if i connect the blue ray via optical to surround amp i get surround sound but if i connect via the optical out from tv all i get is stereo same thing with sky hd box. i went to settings on tv and the sound output is pcm the dolby option is greyed out. bluray and sky are connected to tv via hdmi cables does this not allow the surround to pass through. hope this makes sense.

cheers

on page 36 of your manual it states that if you connect via HDMI , then it only OUTPUTS 2 channel stereo

the new av amps route the HDMI signal through the amp , and have 1 HDMI cable to the telly

you could get a switch to allow you to select input

does your amp accept HDMI in / out ?
