Re: No 5.1 through HDMI with 8300HD DVR

To get 5.1 surround sound, you need to have a home theater receivers and a 5.1 speaker package. Your tv has only the left and right audio channels(stereo) and the surround sound that the tv says it has is simulated.
It looks like he has 5.1 speakers though

 You're right, I never looked up the tv, just assumed. My bad. Looking at the manual it never talks about it receiving 5.1 over its HDMI input. It always talks about a toslink input for 5.1 audio. If I had to guess Vizio used the same HDMI boards as their other tvs without 5.1 speakers and added in a 5.1 pre-amp with the toslink input.

To the OP, get a toslink cable and see if that works.
