    I would just like to say hear guys i have very little experience in this and need all the help i can get so be as specific as you can please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

    I have lots of MKV's with DTS audio and i have a WD HD media player 2nd gen as far as i'm aware and i want to be able to play the mkv's with dts(or anything else for that matter) without having to convert the bloody thing first.

    As far as i've read i need a toslink and a dts decoder with some speaker or in other words a surround sound with dts decoding. I just need to know if this surround sound would work with the media player and if it does exactly what to do please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-SC-PT570...O/ref=de_a_smtd

    specs are there, it says it has a dts decoder and a few others as well as Digital Input 1 (Optical), i asume thats whats needed, any help what so ever is appriciated.

    And also this one:

    http://www.1staudiovisual.co.uk/catalog/sa...tem-p-7309.html

    has dts and an optical input for toslink

    any help would be good please

    Yup, Toslink from WDTV to Amp that can decode DTS and you will get sound. Keep us informed with how you make out.

    Cheers!

    YES it works! this set up works. just need to make sure ur receiver has selected the optical/toslink and voila! display will show DTS and that sweet,sweet sound will come-a-blastin' thru your speakers. Happy New Year y'all!
