Larry,
I know, I've got a DVD player. However, most DVD players that ship right now,
support
the reading and transmitting of DTS. But they leave the decoding to a seperat
amplifier.
Dolby Digital is 5 channel full spectrum (using a compression algorithm) with
one
special channel for the basses.

That is correct. But the standards that have to be met are very spec

Which has nothing to do with THX. THX is a specification for audio

THX is just a guarentee of certain qualities, it's not a sound format or
encoding. THX is more like a seal of approval than anything else, and one
of dubious worth, FWIW. For example,

Yep.

Ralph, DTS is a whole other world. You combine that with TXH ( or is it THX?)
and a decent receiver with DTS (they almost all are equipped for that). Then
you get 5 high end speakers, because unlike Dolby, in DTS all of the channels
are full spectrum (and the rear channels are separate descret

Still not sure there since my DVD player does DTS and there's no mention
of it only working with the coax output. I'm pretty sure I played a DTS
disc on it before I swi
Leo, I have to agree with you. The only pitfall with TOSlink is excessive
length. Len Moskowitz of Core Sound states that you are find up to about 16
feet.
But any type of signal is going to deteriorate with long lengths. That's why
they have repeaters and stuff like that (I might not be usin

I don't think this is true since many DVD players, mine included, have
both coax and optical outputs and 5.1 channel sound works
