I recently got a playbase and using it with my Sony Xbr55x850d. There is an optical output setting on the TV which gives me the options of Auto 1, Auto 2 or PCM. Does anyone know what the ideal setting is for best sound using just the PLAYBASE without rears or sub. I'm ideally looking for Dolby or some sort of simulated surround.

I hope you've solved your problem but this may help other Sony TV owners. The settings for the TV are buried pretty far down in the Sony menu. Note: set your TV volume where you want it, usually pretty low or off, BEFORE you start this process. On my TV, Sony KDL-40R510C, which is about a year old and interwebs-ready (not), it's home/settings/preferences/setup (NOT Sound). Scroll past the first page to AV Setup. Change Speakers to Audio System, Audio Out to Fixed, Digital Audio Out to Auto. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks Lexi,
that's cool, just figured it out recently. Indeed a good idea to set the speaker level to low (saved my ears!).
Best,
