The Dolby Digital one just means it outputs Dolby Digital 5.1 for OTA broadcasts, most likely with an optical port.

U are badly in need of an in-house geek.
U don't turn it on, u simply hookup the TV optical output to an audio receiver that has an optical in, then set your receiver to play 5.1 and BAM! *IF* a 5.1 signal is broadcast from whatever source yer getting your program from.

Well no matter what i do i cant get the 5.1 to pass threw the tv, all i get is 2 channel surround or 3 channel what ever it is. Its just the standard prologic surround with the mono rear and no LFE channel.

In general, TVs will only output 5.1 Dolby Digital from programming received by their internal tuner. Only 2 channel PCM is output when the source is any external source, including HDMI.
To get 5.1 from an external source such as cable or satellite tuner or a DVD or BD player, you have two ways to achieve this:
- Connect the HDMI output of the source to the AV receiver, then the HDMI out of the receiver to the TV.
Source[HDMI] > Receiver[HDMI] > TV
- Connect the HDMI from the source directly to the TV (as you have now) and then also connect a separate optical or coaxial digital audio connection between the source and the receiver.
Source[HDMI] > TV plus... Source[Optical/Coax] > Receiver
