Is it possible to get surround sound for my Digibox and video, through my DVD 5.1 system??

Hi - I`ll try and explain..... I`ve just bought the Venturer DVD 5.1 Home Cinema system (I haven`t connected it yet). I was just wondering if there is a way to set it up so I can have surround sound for my TV, video and Digibox aswell (Pro-Logic, 5.1 - what`s it all mean?!).

I`ve read somewhere that it is possible, but exactly how? I`m REALLY new to this, so any REALLY simple instructions would be great! (what goes where etc....).

Please help - or Hulk will......get very upset and cr.......erm......I mean .....SMASH!!

Providing your TV/Video/Digi box all have the right out-puts, such as stereo phono, and that your surround system has the appropriate in-puts, then yes, you should be able to do this. But be aware that through any of these items, the sound will revert to Dolby Pro-Logic, and not Dolby Digital.

Good luck, and I hope you have many happy hours pulling your hair out as you tussle with all that spagretty.
