  You have to use the digital out from the cable box if you want 5.1 sound. Your receiver may be able to give pro logic with just the R&L inputs but you are cheating yourself.

  Go to www.parts-express.com and order a switchbox. Make sure that it will work with coax digital which has different impedance than regular coax hookups (parts express will know) and use this as an a/b swichbox when you want good surround.

  The other option is to get either a new receiver, new cable box or new dvd with toslink outputs. Who knows, call your cable company and ask for a box with either toslink out or coax digital in and out (this will act as the switch box).

        Thanks!!!
        On a side note the drummer I play w/ here in Tampa is also named Joe Murphy. Featured in the "up and coming" column of Modern Drummer magazine a couple months ago. Fine Irish lad. : )

          Just kidding. But yes, we Irish sure are fine lads -- drunk or sober. But mostly drunk, of course.

          :-)

          By the way, I used to be a drummer. Believe it or not.

          ps. Just in case your friend is me -- in another time, place and dimension -- tell him (or will it be me you're telling?) "Don't sell the drums!". The guy who wants to buy them ends up stealing them (all $4500+ worth). No joke. And if you see the buyer, shoot the MotherFucker for me. He skipped town a day after he stole my -- or would that be your friend's? -- drum kit. Never could find him. Do this for me and buy you a pint... no, an entire brewery, I will.
