my previous DVD had 5.1 connection outputs (it is seen printed against each output as Front, Rear, Sub Woofer, Center etc) which i jacked seperatley to the appropriate inputs my amplifier.
The new dvd player i have now does not say 5.1 but has many amount of Outputs so that it too could be connected to the amplifier. There is also an Optical and coaxial Out put on the new dvd.
Now if i need to get my previous surround sounds on all 5 channels, how can i connect my new dvd as there are no seperate Rear , Front. SW, Center outputs on the back. |

You need to connect 1 digital output connection from your DVD player to the digital input of your receiver. That is, of course, if it has one. |

Tks Berny-
Yes my rcvr has that input. Does this SINGLE connection reproduce sounds in all 5 speakers and give suround efect? |

Yes it does.
You probably need to break out the old manual for the receiver and learn how to set the input for automatic detection. |
