Airtel DTH HD dolby 5.1 sound with AV receivers

[MaSh]

at least now with airtel hd recorder i can pass through 5.1 channel sound through hdmi, no more coaxial/optical cable required

the way i did this was

1 go to menu
2 scroll down to settings and press ok
3 on user setting click ok
4 then click on audio
5 then go to preferred audio on hdmi and select "dolby digital plus" and save with blue button

Voila enjoi 5.1 surround sound,

Note: make sure u have 5.1 speaker setup.

Yes that's the menu common to all. I wish we could make shortcuts on the remote. I have moved to a receiver with pass through so it's all hdmi now.

Hi,
I have Airtel set top box but Optical SPDIF output and my home theater has coaxial in.
Please advise which cable I should buy for 5.1 output.
If possible please share link to buy online..

Thanks in advance
