Andy, doubt if you can get the multi-channel sound via the optical out socket as
I'm almost sure the suround stream cannot be piped in this wayor certainly not
recorded. All down to heavy protection, and who can really blame them?
There are of course DVD ripping programs that will side step this - and I'm not
recommending that you take that route. A lot of the criticism of Vista is that
it is designed to make this sort of thing impossible I believe as well as
greatly restricting the way premium content is played. Sure we're going to hear
a whole lot more on this.
Me? Well, I've neither the room or the money these days to experience surround
sound, much as I might like to listen to the remastering in this format of the
likes of Pink Floyd, but, well, there's such a thing as doing without! Shame
for some of us, isn't it?

Hi Steve.
I bought a very nice home cinema system just before Christmas. It has an
Arcam AV Unit, which my digibox plugs into viaSkart Converter. My DVD
Player/Recorder also plugs into the Arcam. I have 7.1 Quad speaker system
and a 42 inch plasma. The sound is fantastic, particularly when watching a
movie like The Terminator. However, while watching, if I press the AV DVD
button, I can actually hear the sound being recorded, and it's only in
stereo. I don't have an RF connection to an out of doors aerial. I thought
that there was something wrong with my set up so telephoned the hi-fi shop
in Glasgow and they told me that my DVD recorder had copywrite protection
fitted, so I could only record movies in stereo, not in Nicam or Logitech -
or what ever you call it, 7.1. I think I can get around this by recording
the audio via the Optic out connection, but I'd not have the Video. To put
them together again is way beyond my abilities. I'm just realising
something. When I unsubscribe from Sky on 28 Feb, I'll still be able to get
Channel 5 and it's AD, but I'll probably not get the Logitech? Nicam sound.
It's all getting very complicated now eh? Years ago, I had a Stereo Nicam
Video Recorder, and what you got on the TV was exactly what you got on the
tape. Not any more apparently. Finally, before I go, I wish there was a
blind hi-fi, UK list that I could join and get support.
Best wishes.
Andy
