I have an AD-M212, which doesn`t have the built in 5.1 decoder.
You don`t say how you have the system connected up. There is a lot of choice with the 512.
I don`t have music DVD`s so I can`t say whether it is a universal problem.
Have you tried switching between 2-ch and 5.1 sound modes, using the EFFECT button on the remote.
Also the Audio setup menu allows the digital output to be set to OFF, AC-3 or LPCM, try each of these.
DVD audio mode can also be set to CINEMA or KARAOKE.
