Do u have an AV HT Amplifier? or ur 5.1 speakers connect to the DVD player directly?

If its just the DVD player.. then u will need to get an Amp that decodes DTS, DD 5.1, etc

connect the speakers to the Amp..

and stream the audio from ur soruce through optical cable or HDMI to the amp

 

BTW wht r u trying to connect? xbox or a ps3?

playing games n movies on HD with surround is soo fun

sony they sell their dvd player with 5.1 speakers n call it home theater.. it sucks.. it wil play only dvds in surround..

 

a true HT setup includes an amp with multiple input/output options.. then comes speakers of ur choice tht fits ur budget + a woofer
