Help with Dolby Digitial 5.1/DTS
I have done some research on this site, so I am not just asking blindly even though I am new to this technical area.
I have a DVD player that supports Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS but does not decode it. The digital audio out is optical.
I want to buy the Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5.1 speakers which has a built in digital decoder (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=9486 ) to plug into my DVD player. It says for DVD players it uses a digital coaxial cable (which is not included).
My question is: If I buy these speakers, will I get true digital 5.1 sound when I watch movies? I used to have the Logitech Z-640 5.1 speakers which were not digital and mixed the audio stream into just stereo (which sucked).
About the cables: Since my DVD players' digital audio out is optical, does this mean that it won't work because the speakers use a digital coaxial cable?
If it will work, could someone suggest a good affordable cable?
Thank you for all your help.
