Question

If I connect my xbox360 to a denon receiver, will it play dolby digital 5.1 or will it change to PCM 2 ch?

Answer 1

    It depends on What audio cable and audio format you are using.

Answer 2

That all depends how you hook it up. If you use a digital audio cable you will get Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. If you use analog cables you will get stereo sound. Go with the digital cable and get the sound you paid for.

Answer 3

As long as you hook it up with either an optical cable or an HDMI cable (if you've got an HDMI xbox) and turn Dolby Digital in the settings to "ON" then you'll get 5.1 Dolby Digital.
