Can Red & White RCA produce Dolby 5.1

[noddin0ff]

I only have 2 digital inputs into my home theater system(one optical and one digital coax). If I hook up a 3rd componant using the standard red & white RCA jacks. can I get Dolby 5.1 out of them????

Thanks

The answer is 'Yes'. You can get 5.1 with RCA jacks, BUT you need to to have the 5+1 analog outs from your source AND 5+1 analog in's on your receiver. This means that your source (DVD player) is doing the DD or DTS digital to analog conversion, rather than your receiver (which is what happens with the current digital in's). When you say 'red & white' RCA jacks that suggests that you only have left and right jacks (stereo) and not the full set including center and sub.
