New member Username: PenfoldPost Number: 2 Registered: Jan-07 | Right here goes nothing, I have been reading an old thread on this site and I think I have understood what I need but I need to do but some clarification on a couple of things! 1)I recently bought a new 32" Samsung flat screen which has Nicam. I have a surround sound system http://www.3wisemonkeys.co.uk/proddet.jsp?id=1350&cat=54 which has 2 RCA inputs and a separate 6 RCA Inputs (Dolby 5.1). In order to use the 6 RCA inputs in my surround sound system I need a decoder so I can convert the 2 RCA outputs from the TV into Dolby 5.1 and then 6 RCA for the surround sound system ? 2) My playstaion (Old PS2) has an optical out. To plug this into my surround sound system ie optical to 6 RCA plugs will this cable do http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/XPP04.html or do I need a decoder to ? Any help would be much appreciated |

Yes, if the unit does not have a digital audio input, you will need a unit that can separate the multi-channel audio output of your PS2. Unfortunately the only economical way to do this is to get a receiver or an HT that can accept digital audio outputs from your PS2. Another option is to get a DVD player that has 5.1 analog outputs. 2.) This cable is only for component video outputs. The other red/white output is stereo analog. |
