I have a Thompson Sky reciever but it has no optical out like my previous receiver, I now this may be a stupid question, but will the phono leads (L/R) connected to my Amp (which receives pro logic, dolby digital etc) produce surround sound. The sourround speakers seem to be producing some sound, but not as much as I thought they would. :/

Not an expert in this area, but I think you`ll find that phonos ouput analogue whereas surround sound requires a digital input from either an optical or co-ax port on the receiver.

My amp which will output dolby prologic 2 gives a surround sound "effect" from all the speakers from just the phono outputs connected.

It is not the same as 5.1 though.But far better than the sound from the tele.

My old receiver had optical out, but the Thompson Receivers don`t have optical or coaxial out. If I had known before the Sky rep fitted my system I would have asked for a different box

Mmmm, can you not press for another box saying that it`s not like for like ? In other words you have been downgraded.

Just read on another site, Sky + has digital out, but normal Sky Digital phono outputs will output Dolby Pro-Logic and my Optical Link was apparently only outputting Dolby Pro-logic. thanks for the help Guys
