surround sound is available and displays the type of signal:

Please keep in mind that not all DVD discs provide
multichannel surround sound. Some DVDs contain stereo
sound only.
If a connected appliance offers digital surround sound
(Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG) you need to connect the
digital output of the appliance to the DVD recorder system
to appreciate the digital surround sound (see "Connecting
additional video appliances" or "Connecting additional audio
appliances").
Please keep in mind that recording from a digital input
(DIGITAL IN and OPTICAL IN) is not possible.Therefore,
recording of digital surround sound is not possible.
Recording is possible only from the inputs EXT 1, EXT 2,
CAM 1 and CAM 2 and is in stereo.
