It has s/pdif (optical) out for connection to amp. If used then 5.1 provided your amp has optical in.

Cheers

It depends on the Settings you choose in the Audio Output

Selecting “Stereo” will give you 2.0 through your AMP (via HDMI or Optical) and TV simultaneously

Selecting “Digital Pass-Through via Optical Only” will give you 5.1 + 2.0 through your AMP only *

Selecting “Digital Pass-Through via HDMI Only”    will give you 5.1 + 2.0 through your AMP only *

 

* If the movie has DTS / AC3 5.1 Channels then it output 5.1 Channels … If the movie has DTS / AC3 2.0 Channels then it will only output 2.0 Channels.
