How do i enjoy 5.1 surround sound without having an optical cable on the back of the main unit?

Question by Ben W: How do i enjoy 5.1 surround sound without having an optical cable on the back of the main unit?
I have a ps3 and i want to connect it by optical cable to the back of the surround sound unit. My surround sound main unit doesn’t have an input for this but i was wondering if there was another way around it still achieving 5.1?

The connections on the rear of the surround sound unit include:

Audio in (aux)
Video out
Scart.

That is it.

So is there a way to get 5.1 through any of those using a converter?

You have not just inputs to worry about, but PS3 outputs too. The PS3 can send audio in one of 3 ways.

1.) HDMI
2.) Optical
3.) RCA stereo

Since your receiver doesn’t allow for options 1 or 2 the only way you can send the audio is via RCA. So until you get a better receiver you’re stuck with 2 channel audio.
