Having bought a Schneider 857 with built in 5.1 which is great, already made it multi -region. After looking at home surround sets at the usual places Comet Currys and Powerhouse thought they were all expensive. so I started looking on the web at 5.1 setups for computers, found a gem at www.trust.com the top of the range 4000p sold at www.web-systems for £63, not far from where Ilive so I bought them put them in today in a room 24 foot by 12 foot and the sound was fantastic. Plenty of power only had the sound turned up under halfway, hope this is of interest to someone.

ok got the 5.1 surround (Cos i hooked up the speakers wrongly!) But, when i select the pan n scan for picture options it still goes widescreen - majorly - how do i remedy this - oh and why does star trek 2 wrath of khan dvd have a 5.1 surround option?
