Can the optical or coax input be 5.1 or 7.1 surround (coming from a video player) or does the device only accept stereo signal though those inputs?

It's only a two channel dac. It won't decode Dolby digital or dts. You'll have to set your player to output 2 channel PCM or buy a home theater receiver.

Thanks for your question. This amazing sounding unit is stereophonic only. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Teac dealer.

When looking into using the coax input, be sure to check your source. Dish Network for example, has many ouptu optins form its receivers and DVRS. However, if you use coax out from them, the audio signal going into your equipment is mono.

Joe I,Typically the television connection will downcovert signals to 2-channel stereo for HDMI inputs. Few apps support 5.1 surround, so you might want to see if that option is available first.--Mr. S

Yes. This unit has coax (F-connector) digital audio in and converts it to optical cable digital audio out. My unit works perfectly.

yes...it has two "digital audio outs" one is coaxial, the other is optical...of course you'll need a stereo receiver that will convert the signal to 5:1 audio, but you can do it with the DV-420...one thing I'd like to mention is the video quality from this player is terrible...I've played with all the settings, tried different HDMI cables, and had no success in making the picture quality to my liking...I wish that I had returned this unit...my advice, spend some extra money and buy a Sony...

It appears the Amazon App on the Roku can not do Surround Sound, or 5.1. Standard stereo works.

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

its only supported 5.1 as real surround mean with more 2 speakers but you can feel the 7.1 surround without install 2 more speakers

As long as what you're viewing was saved with the 7.1 surround sound, yes. DVD movies for example should be fine, but some video streamed from the net will likely not be.

There is one audio output on the projector- a 3.5mm headphone jack. This will work for stereo, but may not be the best for a full 5.1 system.I ended up getting an HDMI -> HDMI / Optical audio extractor (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBHX072/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687782&pf;_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_i=B005COKXCO&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_r=194PA6VV2MQ8HM2YAQRM) to accomplish your goal.

John's right. I used mine as the convertor from PS3 optical to 5.1 surround. My surround had rca type inputs, no optical. Use this box to convert optical output to stereo, but if your surround box has optical input, this box isn't needed.

No but there is a solution. The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

How are you hooking up the rest of the channels? Via 5.1 in the motherboard? TOSLINK (digital/optical)? Explain your setup in detail and I can probably help you out.

according to the product description "The RCA L/R output will not have sound if the incoming audio is multi-channel audio (>2CH)".So the answer depends on what your input audio signal is. it will NOT downmix 5.1 (or any >2channel) audio to stereo.

Basic answer - No. I believe this unit is designed to function just with its own 2 speakers in "stereo" mode. There is no mention of surround sound such as 5.1 or 7.1 that I could find. You might try a "parallel" hook-up with the amp outputs going to both the Yamaha speakers and the appropriate left or right channels of your wall mount speakers - BUT - be careful to verify that the combined loads / impedances, etc are ok (see specs section of Yamaha owners manual & specs for your wall speakers) or you might damage the amps and all the speakers involved. Also this would only give you more stereo output with all the speakers, not 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Try your Yamaha with just its own speakers and turn up the volume a little - this might work ok for you without the wall speakers. Regards, John

You need to connect it in Aux input using a male-male audio cable 3.5mm. I am not sure if your stereo audio from CD Player will be converted in 5.1 satisfactorily, because the original source is 2.0. In my case, I have connected an optical input, but when the audio is 2.0 (stereo), the adapter only gives 2.0 from RCA outs depending audio format. Only I have noted when the original audio is 5.1, the RCA outs from adapter is 5.1.

You need a digital to analog converter. I use this one - Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter
