Great Product, but needs a digital coaxial output May 23, 2003 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I wanted to utilize the surround sound out of my computer speakers for xbox, but obviously a the subwoofer doesn't have analog audio inputs. It does, however, have a coaxial input. I thought about buying monstor composite cables and the optical audio adapter, but it would cost too much money. All I just simply bought the advanced AV pack, and a cheap optical audio cable. Then, I bout an optical audio to digital coaxial converter at [website], and a digital coaxial cable. It successfully gets the surround sound out of my xbox, which is AWESOME.
Can't find info on this? Here it is... January 26, 2003 42 out of 42 found this review helpful
I scoured the Web to find info on the Advanced AV Pack with no luck. I called several stores, got a different answer from each one, all of which turned out to be wrong. So here's the real scoop: The Advanced AV Pack has an S-Video output, a standard RCA-type analog video output, RCA-type analog left and right audio outputs, and an optical audio output. An S-Video cable is included. My TV doesn't have S-Video; I bought it purely for the Dolby Digital 5.1 output, which is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! It's definitely worth it for the digital surround sound alone! Remember, for Dolby Digital sound you'll need a Toslink optical cable, and an Xbox game (like Ghost Recon) that supports Dolby Digital.
Does the trick, but... September 29, 2002 If you want DTS sound, you are forced to use an optical cable. A ditigal coax option would be nice.

The decision is simple: if you have a TV that support S-video, you should get this pack. If you have a surround sound system, you should get this pack. I bought it to enhance the video (don't have a hi-fi at home), and boy, what a difference it makes, for both games and DVD movies. Just make sure your TV does have an S-video input. Definitely worth it.
