I realize this is a stupid post but please help.
You're using the analog inputs of your receiver and you're only playing back movies in pro logic and stereo. To get DTS or DD 5.1 you need to use a digital connection input on your receiver. Get a pretty thick rca cable and run it from your coaxial output on your dvd player and hook it up to one of your coaxial inputs on your receiver. You could also buy an optical cable instead, makes no difference. And as Tinhere said, make sure your dvd player is set on BITSTREAM.
