Ok...
I have my PS2...
I have a rather lovely Technics 5.1 Pro Logic system
Problem...
My PS2 has a Digital Optical Out for 5.1 Audio... My Technics System has a "DVD 5.1, 6 channel input" ( L, R, rearL, rearR, Center and Sub )
Any ideas how to connect the two? I currently use a standard L&R phono cable into the 2 channel option my system has on the back but some how I feel like I'm missing out on something? Like TRUE 5.1 on DVD playback!!
Obviously not all of us have a DTS amp with Digital in, and I'm sure that not all of us intend to go out and purchase and extremely expensive amp just to have 5.1 playback? So is there an answer?
Digital - Analogue converter possibly?
All ideas welcome!!

It's Dolby Pro Logic with a 5 channel input (5xphono front right, front left, rear right, rear left and cetre plus one for sub) Like on some DVD players... its the previous model of the SC-EH770.

Right this needs cleared up by this guy.
1) Is it Dolby Digital or Dolby Prologic?
If it was a Dolby Digital stereo then it should have a digital input, but if it was Dolby Prologic, then it wouldn't because the Dolby Prologic signal is carried through standard left and right audio channels.
2) You have more speakers than is usually possible for Dolby Pro Logic, unless it is a Dolby Prologic 2 stereo system, the same as the Gamecube will use.
3) Does the stereo have it's own DVD player, as I think someone has already asked? Then it might not have a Dolby Digital input.

OH! It's a dolby pro logic, not a Dolby Digital.....
dunno then. :)

If your technics doesnt have a DVD player built in, then it should have the socket, as they are standard on DVD players (even the £130 argos ones)...
I thought all 5:1 systems had digital input, There may be a lead with 5 phono sockets for the audio, but I haven't seen one.
sorry can't help :-(
