Netflix 5.1 Surround Sound
Netflix 5.1 requires EAC3 pass-through (which SHIELD supports). However, many TVs don't
support EAC3 pass-through (only AC3).
You will get Netflix 5.1 if your TV or receiver supports EAC3.
Here are the valid HDMI routing options for Netflix 5.1 surround sound:
1.
SHIELD > Receiver > TV
o
In this configuration, the TV does not have to support EAC3 pass-
through. However, your receiver needs to support EAC3 decode. Most do.
2.
SHIELD > TV
o
In this configuration, the TV will need to support EAC3 pass-through or EAC3
decode via its HDMI input port.
