[QUOTE="martyp, post: 783659, member: 61183"] Hi James, After looking at the product 'Firewire' shown in the thread chscag suggested, I totally agree that will work. It looks as if it just takes the Stereo output and upscales it to 5.1 via Dolby Virtual Surround. However, I'd assume a Dolby Digital DVD will play back in full 5.1 surround as intended (ie. not upscaling). If you don't watch DVDs often on the Mac though, you'd probably be just as well using the Matrix button on the bottom right of the Z51s control pod - yep I read a review of 'em! This will essentially turn the stereo output of any application into full 5.1. This option is also free which is good so you could try it first to see what you think of it. :D If you need further explanation on the above just let me know and let me know how you get on. :) Kind regards, Marty [/QUOTE]
