I bought a roku express unit for another tv and and tried connecting it to my setup with the yahama receiver and valid 5 1 audio shows on the yamaha s display and plays ok from netflix.
Roku 2 now does not work in 5 1 on netflix roku express does.
So all sound whether surround or not comes through the avr cable ps4 roku etc.
If i play a show or movie it s not in surround sound.
Which you will also need to do when playing a netflix movie.
For example netflix may require you to select english 5 1 under audio and subtitles.
Going to the audio options within the show movie also doesn t show it s available.
This will cause the roku to send dd 5 1 to the tv.
All you need to do is connect it to power plug it in to the hdmi port on your tv and connect to the internet.

The only way to get netflix 5 1 to the avr from the roku is to first set the audio hdmi setting to dd since it appears your tv does not advertise dd.
Just recently purchased the newest ultra and noticed that in netflix on a show movie overview screen it doesn t show that it s in 5 1.
A 2014 or newer ultra hd tv that is capable of streaming ultra hd content at 60 hz connected to your roku via an hdmi port that supports hdcp 2 2 or later usually the hdmi 1 port.
Its small form factor makes it easy to hide behind your tv and perfectly portable to use while traveling.
