| 1170679 | 2011-03-10 00:46:00 | You need something like this: www.allaboutadapters.com I saw some which can take S/PDIF but they output only stereo, not 5.1 surround. |

| 1170680 | 2011-03-10 03:05:00 | Hummm that should do the trick .. except the company does not send it outside US and Canada (sad) Don't know how to get it to NZ ? Do you think Jaycar would have it? | kbp (7436) | ||
| 1170681 | 2011-03-10 03:37:00 | what kind of plug is the 5.1 CH input 2 on your sound system? If it is orange and RCA as well, then you'll need a single RCA plug from your orange coaxial output from your bluray player into the 5.1 CH input 2. |

You might find something on eBay, or ask them nicely if they'll ship here. Don't know if Jaycar would have it... There was a kit recently in Silicon Chip which converted from Coax to Toslink and vice-versa but that doesn't really help.... |

| 1170683 | 2011-03-10 07:56:00 | what kind of plug is the 5.1 CH input 2 on your sound system? If it is orange and RCA as well, then you'll need a single RCA plug from your orange coaxial output from your bluray player into the 5.1 CH input 2. That connection is too large to be digital coax. It is hard to find information on the amp, but I found an old trademe auction that states the 5.1 input 2 has multiple pins. www.trademe.co.nz It is hard to tell how big the connection is, but I think it might be a full size jack connection that oldschool headphones use. I don't know of anything that outputs 5.1 surround using that connection though. |

| 1170684 | 2011-03-10 09:00:00 | Well that makes it clearer . . . . . sort of . The input labelled '5 . 1 channel input 2', what kind of connector is it (can't make it out)? Is it an RCA connector (like all the other ones) but orange, or black? Or something else? |

| 1170685 | 2011-03-11 09:55:00 | the '5.1 channel input 2' is an S-Video input with 8 pin holes. That's where I had originally connected the 5.1 channel input and on the other side was 6 RCA's going into the DVD player before. The Auraiga Surround sound only have this: 6 x RCA (for surround) 2 x RCA (for stereo) 1 x S-video (5.1 ch input 2) |

| 1170686 | 2011-03-11 10:08:00 | Well then you're s**t outa luck. You will need some sort of converter to convert the digital signals of your blu-ray player into an analogue signal for your receiver. |

| 1170688 | 2011-03-11 10:14:00 | ...and some standard RCA leads to go from the 5.1 output to your 5.1 inputs on your receiver. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
