what about the dvd player itself? do they make them with decoders so that you can have true 5.1?thanks,
Follow Ups:
They do have DVD players with decoding built in (most I think actually). Problem is your receiver would not be able to use it. If you had a 5 channel receiver with 5 inputs (such as the Audio Refinement unit made a while back), you could have 5.1 sound. If you're looking for movie surround however you'd be just as well of buying a new receiver.
I can't think of any way your present Pro-Logic receiver can output 5.1 sound though, no.
thanks for the help ya'll. Looks like I'll be getting a new receiver...
Depending on your room size, you may want to go ahead with 6.1 or 7.1. Most receivers now probably include this, so if you are happy with 5.1 you could get a used one for a good deal.
Take a DVD player with 5.1 analog out.Receiver or AMP for L and R
Another Receiver or amp for RRear, and L rear
Another Amp or receiver for Center
A powered Sub.I have the above set up using vintage amps ( receivers ) bought at tag sales for $ 20.00 each. Case in point Yamaha CR 420 for $ 15 .
Plenty of Vintage speakers around also , cheap.You just have to adjust the volumes seperately, but it works fine.
