    hi buddies....

    so i had finally purchased Philips home theatre HTS3565/98.
    I had also auditioned yamaha YHT-185

    i found both at par so i went with philips.
    anyways thats not the point....

    I have a DELL notebook inspiron 1520.
    It has S/PDIF out.

    now i was wondering can i connect my notebook to my philips HTIB via digital coaxial cable since the HTIB has Digital coaxial in?
    will S/PDIF on laptop support this digital coaxial cable?

    if yes will i be able to achieve 5.1 surround sound on my HTIB?
    what are the other accessories i need to buy???

    thanks a lot for ur support.

    Regards
    tinny
