I don't know if I'm missing a setting or it simply can't do it. I'm using a digital receiver with DTS and PLII and connected with the optical cable.

I can get all AC3 and other kinds of stereo turned into PLII, but it's also turning the broadcast 5.1 AC3 into PLII. If I set it to keep broadcast AC3 as-is to preserve 5.1, TV broadcast stereo AC3 goes to the receiver digitally and stays in stereo. I would have thought the receiver could do it on its own, but maybe not. The best I can do on the receiver itself is 5-channel stereo.
