Default dolby coax to L,C,R,LS,RS,LFE

I'm need to get from a dolby digital coax out to L,C,R,LS,RS,LFE rca
ins. Is there a cable I can get? Please help.

No...You need a decoder(or decoding software) to convert from a Dolby
Digital stream to 6 channels of audio. You could also go through a
decoder and record 6 channels from the decoder(like an A/V receiver with
6 outputs). I think Dolby E lets you manipulate the encoded Dolby
Digital stream without decoding it. Other than that I think you need to
decode it to do anything with it.

No, you need a Dolby Digital decoder.

You need to decode the dolby digital stream in order to hear the discreet 5.1
channels. A basic home theater reciever will decode the signal, but you'll
need one with preamp level outputs. if you want to interface the decoded stream
with a mixing board. The least expensive home theater receiver with preamp
outputs on RCA connectors that I have found is the Sony STR-DA1ES. It's less
than $400. You won't be able to solo channels from the receiver and the
interface isn't like something you'd expect to find on a professional decoder,
but for referencing 5.1 mixes muxed in something like DVD Studio Pro it works
pretty well.

Actually, DOES anybody make a simple box with a Dolby bitstream in, and
S-PDIF out to external converters, or clean analogue discrete outputs?
I'd like something a good bit cheaper than the Dolby unit, but I'd like
something more solidly built and without all that additional processing
crap that the consumer receivers have.

I have an SH-AC500D as well. Definite issues with 0dBFS output but
otherwise not a bad machine, and (until I hear significant improvements
from something else) good enough for the theatre system here.

Please elaborate...

I'm trying to think of something digital that *dosen't* have issues with 0
dBFS!

Check out the Yamaha RX-V630. It has all the line ins and out you need.
You can also defeat any processing. I have one and it works very well.

Are you kidding!?!? The cheap consumer receivers have built in delays and
reverbs designed to make your boxy little living room sound like a boxy little
living room inside a cheap digital recreation of a Famous European Cathedral.
Who wouldn't want that?

Actually, I think you've just pegged a marketable product. I'd certainly buy
one. I wonder which manufacturer might consider bringing a product like this
to market? We should lobby them.

The Lexicon MC-12B does this very well, and it's got very clean balanced
analog outputs. But it ain't cheap at ten grand. I own one myself, and
while it's a bitch to set up, once it's done, it sounds great.


One could say the same (and more) about my Meridian Ref861 but price
was an issue.
