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!!

I wish I could JUST go and buy a DTS/5.1 amp.

Make sure you do go for one that has DTS though, most new ones do now anyway.

I'll have to wait a while yet...

Just glad that I've given you the explanation you needed.

As long as some kind of sacrifice is being made - I'm happy!
