Yes in most cases, like a bluray player connected to the tv using HDMI will not output 5.1 because the handshake prevents the player from outputting anything other than 5.1. But in the case of devices where you can "force" the handshake off, like in an XBOX 360 or Boxee Box, you can get the TV to output 5.1.

I seem to recall the older Xbox 360s didn't use HDCP, but the Slim consoles do.
