Page 1 of Can you get DD5.1 sound on Sky Plus - without an optical lead/connection?

I`ve got an all-in-one Panasonic Home Cinema and it hasn`t got an optical input :( . Is there any other way/connection so you can get DD5.1 sound on Sky Plus...?

Cheers! :)

you need a optical output from your system for sky+ if you have a coaxial output i belive you can buy a converter that will convert a coaxial out to optical

...sounds good! Have you any idea of the price (...any links? :) ).

Assuming that the SKY+ box has an optical output and the Panasonic system has a co-axial input, this little gizmo will get you out of trouble:

At £19.99 it won`t break the bank, either.

Check the Panny has a digital input first though, or you could be wasting your money.

Thanks - I`ll have a look! :)
