two big questions:

how are you connected to the receiver (what ports and wires)
does your receiver actually support 5.1 over coax and optical (many cheap receivers do not!)

most likely you're only capable of a 2.0 input which is causing the problem. do read the manual to see if 5.1 input is supported though.

Thanks
