Make sure that the 850 isn't set up to output HDMI audio; fiber optic output is the right ticket. It may be that HDMI allows the receiver to access only two audio channels through the other digital outputs as a default. Don't assume that using HDMI for video will ensure that 5.1 digital audio elsewhere will come along for the ride as a matter of course. You may have to distinguish them manually.

I went through the settings and troubleshooting of all three about 50 times. There wasnt alot of audio options. Either something was wrong with the player or I'm just retarded. Anyways I convinced him to return the Samsung and go with an HK(DVD22) which I personally feel is a much better player. I've owned the Samsung 841 and the HK DVD22 and felt the HK was better. Even though the Samsung 841 was DVI, The picture never seemed to much better than component and I always felt the Samsung was cheaply built. To sum this up I went with Denon for myself and my bro. is happy with the HK.
