Does Netflix On Apple Tv Output 5.1 Sound?
I have recently bought an Apple TV unit and am using it for Netflix. I noticed it has an optical output but not coaxial. Unfortunately the two optical inputs on the back of my sony amp no longer work. The lead will not click into place. So I have been been using pro logic 2 to listen instead which isnt bad but not as good as DD. I use a coaxial lead for Sky and blu ray. So if my optical input did work would Netflix be in 5.1 sound. (Obviously i know not everything would be in 5.1.) I need to know this bwfore i consider paying to get the amp repaired. Thanks.

Yes it works
![]() -Eban netflix on ATV is a split between HD/SD. @JEFF62 you know that you can buy a optical to coax converter, then if needed use a coax switch. Although a new amp is also desirable. |

Yep I can also confirm it works, not all films have it though.
