Optical to 5.1

**SiAKOL** · December 31st, 2004 04:11 AM

Question lang, can you get a 5.1 signal from optical (from DVD to 5.1 Receiver) connection only? Instead of multiple RCA plugs (left,center,right rear and sub). I want to limit the wires if possible. TNX.

YES. Better signal at tidy pa. Just use good quality cable.

yes, that's the best way to connect multi-channel audio from your DVD to your receiver.

yup! kaso be careful with the opticals since medyo sensitive sya. can't get dirt in or even get folded or twisted. maselan sya...

hmm... pag DVD player to AVR di ba red, white and yellow rca wires lang? i think its video(white), analog sound(yellow or is it the other way around?) and the red i dont know what for hehehe.

yup. Only through optical can you get DTS din.

from DVD to TV try using the good cables din. Component cables yata yon. 3 colors for video (green, brown, and yellow yata). That is kung may component connection ang TV mo. Otherwise... old composite cables will do. Kung may S Video connection din ang tv mo yun ang mas magadna kaysa composite.

cheers

for digital connection there's only 2
Optical and Coaxial (one RCA plug only) other than that is Analog

yung Yellow (video) White (stereo) Red (mono) is analog connection

on optical and coaxial
highly debated na ito sa pinoydvd.com for me mas bright ang optical and melllow ang coaxial

btw im using Digital Coax for my digital connection
pinagawa ko sa 5th avenue shang using monster cable and gold RCA

pansin ko din, parang umiinot yung optical cable (during extended continouos use) hence naaapektuhan yung sound output from the receiver.....nde ko naeexperience to pag sa coax.
