If the receiver is fed a multichannel signal, it should be the one to decode that signal. I really can't think of a reason one would want to output the same multichannel signal that was fed to the surround receiver/processor to another component. Would it not be more logical to input the signal to that component in the first place, eliminating the middleman?

To answer your question, the optical or coax digital output from a surround receiver/processor can usually be configured for multichannel (which is a data bitstream that must be converted to multichannel PCM in order for it to be turned into analog by the onboard D-A converters) or 2.0 PCM.
