Does iTunes output 5.1 for episodes that I buy in HD?

Asked by andrew (16562points) January 6th, 2009

See my quip here. I’m thinking of connecting my MacBook digitally to my stereo receiver, but I don’t want to bother if iTunes isn’t going to play nice.

According to Apple web page for iTunes HD TV shows have “stunning 720p with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound”. So I would guess that the normal TV shows probably don’t (otherwise they would have mentioned it).

web link thingy

edit just noticed you were asking about the HD shows anyway
