I had one of these but returned it... There is indeed absolutely NO way to get multi-channel sound out of it even with an HDMI A/V receiver (and the silly thing claims to be HDMI 1.3 capable as well!). I tried and tried (even called Samsung) only to find out that it just can't be done (not even with a future firmware update from what they told me on the phone). It seems completely absurd that Samsung would build a "Media Center" extender with no way to output surround sound for all of your HD TV shows. D'oh!
