Have sound bar sonnyHT-CT150
SOURCE: RCA RT2280 surround sound mode button wont select 5.1 dolby digital mode.
I had the same problem and this is what I did to fix it. Assuming that all of your equipment is powered on, (tv, blu-ray/dvd, rca receiver) you'll need to go into your dvd players audio menu and select the dolby digital audio.
Once you do this, the digital signal is sent to your receiver from the dvd. The receiver should automatically set itself to the dolby digital preset. If it doesn't, press the surround button until you reach it. I found part of this information here. And the rest was personal experience.
Also, it depends on if the disc format is in dolby 5.1. I hope this helps you.
What kind of inputs does the sound bar have? Most I've seen have a optical connector (square with a dust cap on each end).
Now check your TV? Does it have a digital connector as well? If so that is great. Get the correct length of cable (amazon and monoprice have them cheap)

and connect the two. Then in the TV Sound Setup, turn off the TV speakers and output all sound to the digial connector.
