blu ray player 6 channel output image
Tazman1958
i have a stereo, and a cd player. I just bought my first flat screen tv and a blu ray player. Keep in mind the stereo is a Pioneer from the late 80's and the cd player is a generic five disc model (Fisher) from the mid 90's. The TV and the Blu Ray are both Samsung. I also have Direct TV hookup if this makes a difference.
Answer
It wont work.
Your stereo is 2-channel. This means 2 speakers worth of sound.
Your DirectTV box MIGHT have red/white RCA outputs if it is a standard def unit. But you are really going to need to upgrade the box to a HD unit which will have optical which contains Dolby Digital 5.1 (6 speakers) of sound.
There ARE devices that can down-mix the 5.1 sound from optical to left/right analog for headphones or stereo use. But only one company makes these and they seem to be out of stock on Amazon because .... it's a crappy idea.
You probably need to buy a SoundBar that accepts optical or a better choice would be a 5.1 system. Look at the Denon + Boston Acoustics package over at B&H photo.
Onkyo also sells some box systems on Amazon.
Hope this helps.

What characteristics does a blu ray player require to play 6.1 surround sound audio?
Dougie
Would this be possible if i use a PS3?
Answer
I think that a player that outputs 7.1 format (which includes the PS3) will actually output 6.1 soundtracks as 7.1 (two channels would be identical). You will also need a home theater system that can decode 7.1 audio from it's HDMI input (some receivers will only pass HDMI audio, not process it). Optical inputs (TOSLINK) can only support lossily compressed 5.1 surround, not 6.1 or 7.1.
Most Blu-ray discs are actually encoded to 7.1 instead of 6.1, but you can filter this list to show 6.1 discs if you want: http://www.blu-raystats.com/Stats/Stats.php .
