By the way, in case anyone runs into the same problem I initially thought I had yesterday, there are little converter boxes that can be used to take an optical digital audio in, and provide standard stereo left/right analog out. The first link is for a 2 channel optical digital to stereo analog out. The second link is for an optical Dolby Digital 5.1 to analog stereo out. And actually both boxes also accept the coax S/PDIF format as input. http://www.hdtvsupply.com/digital-to-analog-audio-converter.html http://www.hdtvsupply.com/digital-audio-to-stereo-adapter.html Bert ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
