Sony Receiver and DTS

[[email protected]]

I just recently bought a HDA X-Plosion 7.1 soundcard with DTS encoding
on it. My Sony STR-DE595 receiver 5.1 is currently reading "Dolby Pro
Logic II" for it's setting. I was wondering how to go about switching
it to the DTS decoder. I know that DTS is better and I was wondering
if there was something on the menu that I had to select or if I have to
some how set it to auto-detect or what. Thanks a lot for the direction!

I assume you are using an optical or coaxial (usually orange RCA)
digital connection between the soundcard and the receiver?
