steve the optical output on 360 is on the part that you switch between hdtv and scart, you can pick up a 1meter lenght off optical cable from the bay for abot £3 | |

If you pay 20 quid for a meter of optical cable you've been had. | |

the hdmi will carry 5.1, but you'd need five channels coming from your tv to your decoder for 5.1. Like said, theres an optical feed on the hdmi cable, so if your decoder/surround system has an optical in then you should be able to get 5.1. | |

Can't you just plug the 3 coloured pins in to the surround sound? Thats what I've done with my Wii. | |

on the main cable steve theres an optical output.....i used an optical lead to go from there into my surround sound direct and works fine. Get DTS5.1 on dvds with said DTS. | |
