    2 channel using DVD player

    I will be hooking the audio out portion of my DVD player using the digital coaxial out, to get 5.1 dolby sound when watching DVD's.

    I also want to use my DVD player for listening to regular 2-channel CD's.

    My question is, do I also have to hook up the analogue Left and Right out section of the DVD player or will the digital coaxial out provide the needed connection for listening to 2-channel CD's?

    Thanks

    Hey Glenn. You have to use digital coax to get 5.1 from it, or optical one.

    Using the analog connections is optional for 2 channel. You can also use the same 5.1 coax for all 2 channel, including DPL. The difference is this. Using Analog left and right connections, uses the DACs in the DVD player for 2 channel. Using Coax uses the DACs in your receiver or pre-pro.

    You may want to try it both ways to see which unit has the better DACs, and thus gives the best 2 channel from CD.
