Ok so now its time to put the kettle on make a brew and sit down and watch Day break (HD) all episodes back to back in dolby 5.1 sound who needs the cinema  |
...excuse me for butting in but as you've only connected the V+ box to your cinema system via phono leads, then you've actually only getting an analogue stereo signal into your cinema system therefore are not getting 5.1 surround sound. The only way to get true 5.1 surround sound from the program is, if it's broadcast in 5.1 and you've connected via optical or coaxial, which can carry the 5.1 signal.....otherwise it'll be stereo out of all speakers.....
The only reason I know this is I've been looking into upgrading my DVD cinema system to allow me to connect V+ and DVD....the only way to do it is to buy an AV Receiver with coaxial/optical inputs...then you have to get an active sub..the list goes on and can cost thousands ...
