5.1 vs. RCA, newbie question

[ Other Replys ] [ Reply to this message ] [ Return to Discussion Forum ] Posted by UA on June 11, 19103 at 04:27:04:

Can anyone answer this simple (?) question:
If I have a DVD player with 5.1 analog audio output (six connectors), is there any way I can connect this to my (old) stereo receiver input with two (2) standard RCA (phono) connectors?
Do I need some sort of converter to do this?
Can I just use two of the 5.1 connectors and a regular RCA-cable?

As I said, newbie question.
