This could be caused by how you have the player connected to your system. The wrong type connection or a faulty one. It can also be caused by the sound settings on both the playback device and listening device. One or both could be set to PCM and not Dolby. Or there could be a mixdown applied, thus removing the 5.1 signals.
SOURCE: Onkyo TX-SR500 Dolby Digital problem
I just read over the problem you were having with your Onkyo TX-SR500 receiver. It sound like the unit needs to be setup for all five channels.Sence your symptom says the diplay shows Dolby D3/2.1. According to the owners manual with the remote control look for speaker setup whin the button is pressed the current speaker setup will be shown in the display. Press the preset/adjustment<> to change the current setting to five speakers. the listening mode will automatically change according to the number of channels you selected. Hope this helps. Radiotech
SOURCE: Surround Speakers stop working
More then likely unit has poor solder connections. Try lightly tapping on chassis to see if you can get audio to either cut on or off with the vibration, If you can unit has intermittent solder connections probably around power amp ic701 where most of the heat is generated. I have a PDF service manual if you need it for yourself or for a technician if you take it in for repair [email protected]

SOURCE: Onkyo digital reciever has poping noise when in dolby sound
I have the same reciever, and had the same problem. Contact Onkyo, this is a known issue where defective DSP chips were used and manifest problems with a popping / clicking sound when using surround settings. These receivers also have a Dolby Digital input issue that can cause audio dropouts when watching cable or SAT broadcasts that encode DD using a 'newer' broadcast encoding methods. Onkyo is covering the cost of that repair for me now, even though the receiver is 5 years old now....
go to your control panel
click the sound icon
under the playback tab select the audio device you want to configure
right click properties
check each tab make sure you have dts / dd ticked
you may have software from creative installed check this to make sure you have the soundcard setup to output 5.1 when available
make sure the sound is configured on power dvd
if you cant get it working that way i suggest trying windows media player 11
also remember the soundcard will only output 5.1 if the source is 5.1 a copied dvd for example could be 2 channel stereo
i hope this helps you out !
