FYI, the LM100 does indeed measure 5.1 material. However it does this only through analyzing a compatible Dolby Digital encoded signal. Thus, having a Dolby Digital encoder would be necessary to be able to do this.
What encoder? The DP571 for Dolby E? Or is there a way to send it AC3? Excuse the ignorance... I'm just getting into surround mixing. What encoded signals are compatible?

We dont have a LM100 yet at our place but I mix the dialog against -27db on the LEQ(A) Meter in Digidesigns Phasescope. And the I mix everything around that.
Is this similar to doing it against LM100?]
Yazoo - Don't do this. I've tried it. Way too loud. Digi's LeqA doesn't have Dolby's "Dialog Intelligence" so it will measure the silence in between words... thus giving you a lower reading. If you mix loud enough to hit -27LeqA for the entire show in PhaseScope it's LOUD - I found out the hard way.
