What do I need to make this work?
Hi there
I have a Liteon DVD Recorder with the following audio outputs Digital Coax Optical 2 x Phono My Sky satellite box has 2xphono out I have a set of Creative 5.1 speakers. These have the usual phono inputs. I would imagine that I need some sort of receiver/amplifier between the source devices and the speakers into which I could plug in the digital coax or optical from the DVD Recorder and the 2 x phono from the sky box. If this is correct, would this receiver/amplifier have some sort of decoder to output the signal from the DVD in surround sound? Can the phono signal from the Sky box be put out in surround sound too? Any advice welcome! Many thanks Alex |

What do you mean by "phono" output? I don't think it means what you think it means... The connectors that are called "RCA jacks" in the US are called "phono sockets" in the UK (and presumably elsewhere in the world); it's quite common for set-top boxes to have a pair of them for stereo audio output at line level. -- Adam Sampson http://offog.org/ |

They are/were called "phono" jacks in the US too. The other common one was the "phone" jack, and that was the 1/4" tip and sleeve design that was originally used on phone switchboards. I think Walt was trying to distinguish between normal line-level RCA jacks, and "phono" RCA jacks, which required a different level of amplification than the normal line-level jacks... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy Yee E-Mail: ayee AT mn dot rr dot com President Home Page: http://home.mn.rr.com/andyyee New Directions Engineering, Inc.

my intel 440bx motherbd, 450mhz slot 1pentium , and on board sound devices
have performed excellent with magix audio studio 7 as software to capture any signal from the line or microphone inputs. dont perform any other task while transcribing , to prevent ANY glitches. even with 1.2ghz units we have noticed even the best PC arrangements can and usually will have errors during audio transcriptions. add-on sound card was possible, but not needed if turntable does not have adequate signal strength, then you may run that into standard turntable input on receiver/audio amp and then use output from that to the PC sound card input it is EASY! riaa equalization can be performed easily in software at later time. sound cleanup, removal of pops. hiss, scratch noise, and other is also done within the software. most vinyl and a decent turn table will provide u with outstanding audio clarity. writingto cd is an equally easy task. also, read the package instructions, that always seems to help. wrote in message oups.com...
