Dolby true HD

edit

If you have a blu ray player with a Dolby TrueHD decoder and a home cinema system with only analogue connections and a toslink, which cables would you need to get DolbyTrueHD? The toslink will only work with Dolby Digital, not trueHD. Alternatively, is there a way of adding an HDMI input to the home cinema system, which can receive the DolbyTrueHD signal from the blu ray player?
If not, is there a way to output 5.1 sound using the TrueHD output? At the moment using toslink, my audio decoder only turns it into a dolby pro logic stereo format. Clover345 (talk) 20:17, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
