    Hi Folks,
    I think I'm going to buy a DVD player with these connections on the back:

    Back

    How would I be able to use this DVD player with the following speakers:
    Megaworks

    Know, I know that the speakers have a 3.5mm line in, and I could use a RCA to 3.5mm lead, but surely I'm not going to get surround sound with this set up? What's the alternative?

    Cheers ,
    S.

    You'll need a decoder. As the outputs on DVD plays are normaly left and rght channel as different connections. here is one from Creative. I've ordered one of them for my Gigaworks speakers that arrived yesturday from elara. The decoder I have on order from creative as it was cheeper there. Should be here in the next day or so.

    So, what exactly does this decoder do that the DVD player doesn't do?
    Again, I'm relatively new to the whole sound systems when not using a cmputer.

    Cheers,

    After a clsoer look at the product. So, can this take the inputs from the RCA connections from the DVD player, convert these into 5.1 surround sound channels and then output them to the speakers?

    So, effectively, this is basically a thing that allows up to three RCA inputs to be used with the Creative Speakers?

    It will take the connection from the Digital coax connection on the back. Then turn it inot the 5.1 sound standurd. It will also allow you hook other devices such as your TV. To the sound system as well Allowing you to have multable devices outputing to your speakers. While you wont get 5.1 off the TV, you will still have the better sound from the speakers/bass system.
