Hi there

I have a Liteon DVD Recorder with the following audio outputs

Digital Coax
Optical
2 x Phono

My Sky satellite box has 2xphono out

I have a set of Creative 5.1 speakers. These have the usual phono
inputs.

I would imagine that I need some sort of receiver/amplifier between the
source devices and the speakers into which I could plug in the digital
coax or optical from the DVD Recorder and the 2 x phono from the sky
box.

If this is correct, would this receiver/amplifier have some sort of
decoder to output the signal from the DVD in surround sound? Can the
phono signal from the Sky box be put out in surround sound too?

Any advice welcome!

Many thanks
Alex
