Do I need a Dolby Digital receiver to enjoy home theater surround sound with DVD?
No. All DVD players have regular right and left stereo analog output jacks. Connect them to an A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Surround for surround sound, or to a stereo receiver for 2-channel stereo sound. If your DVD player has its own built-in Dolby Digital decoder and 5.1-channel analog outputs, you can connect it to a “5.1-ready” receiver and enjoy full Dolby Digital surround sound.
