What is 5.1 Bitstream?
5.1 Bitstream is the technical word for “Dolby Digital AC3 5.1 or DTS 5.1 Cinema sound”. Like PCM it is sent over a single wire by digital coax phono, optical or HDMI but instead of 2 channels like with PCM, there are 6discreet channels in the stream. Left, right, center, sub, surround left and surround right.

Dolby Digital
For DOLBY DIGITAL to work you will need to switch your TV and DVD player to Bitstream(auto/cinema/surround/Dolby).

To play Dolby Digital on the Everest, the Player or streaming product needs to be Dolby Digital capable.
To use Dolby Digital in OPTICAL or HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Digital.
The UHD(Ultra-High-Definition)/Blu-ray player or TV must have the Digital output settings set to Bitstream, often labeled with references to ‘Cinema surround’ or ‘Dolby’. “The UHD/Blue-Ray disc must be DolbyAtmos-enabled”.
A crude but effective way to test if Everest is processing Dolby Digital 5.1 bitstream is to listen to audio coming from the surround speakers when playing a movie. Most movies on streaming apps have Dolby Digital soundtracks. If when playing a movie a person is speaking on the screen you should only hear the voice coming from the front bar. This is because the centre speakers in the bar are receiving discrete centre channel information.
