RE: OT: 5.1ch DVD to HomeCinema

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Graham,

Unfortunately what you need to connect the two is a processor. ie -
something to decode the digital stream on the single output, and turn it
into the 6 separate analogue inputs on amp.

If it's a "integrated home cinema amp", made by someone like
Yamaha, then it will have this processor built in, and the appropriate
input socket.

If it's, however, a "home cinema POWER amp", then it's expecting
that you have a separate processor, either built into the DVD player, or in
a separate box.

What is the make and model of the amp?

Regards,

Mark

I need some help connecting a friend's DVD player and HomeCinema amp.
On the back on the DVD player it has Optical and Coax 5.1ch Outputs,
however
on the back on the HomeCinema Amp, it only has 6 phono sockets for
5.1ch
(ie. Front/Rear (L&R), Centre and SubWoofer).

My question is: Does a cable exist to connect the two, ie. Coax -> 6
phono.

Cheers
Graham
