Phil, Check this link http://www.schudy.de/dts/dts2ac3stereo-e.htm for converting 5.1 DTS to stereo AC3. There may be a way to then convert the 2 channel AC3 to stereo PCM. Don't give up on DTS-CDs, it is simply a format and there are great, good and so-so DTS-CDs out there. Kiwi -- Kiwi SB3 Classic, SB Controller, SB Receiver, 3 x SB Boom, ?
