Surround sound

[billy77]

Can I set my surround sound system with my dbox2? was given a 5 speaker surround system and not sure how to put it to use. i have it connected to dbox just now via rca but only front 2 speakers come through. Not sure if anything else is possible? i'm using commando 11 image.

got mine running through a 5.1 keff egg system with sub... i use the optical out (on the dbox) as that gets you pro logic at least.
the phono outputs are ok for 2 channel but the optical is the best output for sound i find... you could check the scart audio outputs to see if that covers more sound channels.... i think it will.

have fun with it,,,, the sound i get can be immense at times!

I seem to only have rca input on my speaker receiver. Tv left & right. its a bush pro400 5 speaker system with sub woofer. All other inputs are for speaker inputs rca and on the other side the same for speaker outputs. I guess it can't be done then.

Ive used the extra scart output (vcr) on my dbox2 using scart to rca input into my receiver. its gave me a diff sound anyway. should this give me surround sound of some sort? still testing.

if you can use the optic output for best results as mentioned in a previous post

I don't see how i can connect the optical to my receiver with it being all rca inputs?

If you got no optical inputs on you receiver then you have to stick with a 2 speaker output or upgrade your receiver. Have you got no virtual surround settings etc on your receiver?

I was given this surround system from a friend, but after some investigating ive found that it was part of a dvd player/speakers purchase. So all I salvaged off him is the speakers.

Link in nxt post (dont have enought post count at moment)

What I have is basically a subwoofer with 6 rca outputs (Speaker Outputs). Centre, Subwoofer, Sur R, Sur L, Front R, Front L.

and 6 of the same for rca inputs (Audio Input)

and 2 rca inputs, tv L & R. There is also a DVD to TV switch.

Guess I'm missing something.

with that having no optical input your stuck with 2 channels im afraid... but keep the speakers and get an amp with optical... like i said its only pro logic surround but its not too bad with the right speakers stuck on there.
my amp is a yamaha dsp-a595a and its great.
got to use optical for the best quality !!
