No DTS, Dolby Digital recognition from Sony STR-K502P-HELP!

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I recently purchased a Sony STR-K502P A/V receiver. I have a Direct TV and a Sony DVD player going into the 2 optical audio inputs. The receiver has a Automatic Detection button that is supposed to correctly recognize which type of signal is entering the receiver. However, it is not doing this. When the Auto Detect button is selected the surround display shows L and R only. When selecting the Normal Surround Mode using the Optical input the receiver only shows that the signal is Pro Logic and not the DTS or DD 5.1. I have made sure that the DVD player is selt up to output either DTS or DD but the receiver refuses to recognize the proper surround setting, nor does the blue light on the front panel activate showing that it is receiving multi-channel audio. The speaker display only shows L,C,R S and SW. The DVD's I'm using are current release movies (Moulin Rouge, Matrix, Tron Anv. Ed.) and are encoded for the surround sound. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
