Noob ?: Is it possible to get 5.1 surround sound from Comcast Digital Cable? How?
I have recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V750/Klipsch Reference HT package.
Separately, I signed up for Comcast Digital Cable( to watch the Tour de France). The digital cable box is the Motorola Digital Cable Box Model DCT2224.
Is it possible to get Dolby Digital surround sound out of the cable box? If so, what settings on this cable box and what connections to my receiver do I need to make? Or do I need to use Pro Logic IIx to fake into sounding like Dolby Digital/5.1? It looks like there are only composite connections on the back of the cable box: red/white/yellow (R/L/V).
I don't have an HD TV yet, or I would move to Satellite or HD cable.
Thanks.
