I have a 510 DVR which have had four about 4 years. With optical plug in back I hooked to my stereo but am not getting digital sound. Should I be? The manual says to look at programming guide to see sound quality but it is rarely listed.

Yeah you have to set it to output digital audio.
I have a different one but I went into the menu and went to audio then set it to Dolby Digital/PCM. I don't know if your stereo can handle DD but I'm pretty sure it'll take PCM.
I have a new Sony receiver. I have an optical cable from the back of the dish receiver to the stereo. I get PCM no prob but wondering why I don't get Dolby digital. I do on my dvd player.
I should remind you that you only get Dolby Digital when you're watching a movie (says DD in info), like PPV. Just look at the PPV channels and you'll find ones with DD.
