Will this handle true surround sound? It says Dolby surround, but I've been told that the audio inputs for each component need to be coaxle (??) or something like that, and that this one doesn't have it. I have new speakers coming and I want to make sure I'm surround sound capable, and if this one doesn't do it, then I'll go out and get another one.

Can anyone help?
A little bigger would help

Most modern receivers have digital inputs for surround sound (either optical or coaxial), makes wiring it up easy.

This one doesn't have that, but it DOES have analog 5.1 inputs (see page 10 in the manual). The big question will be does your DVD player have 5.1 outputs, as not all of them do. If it doesn't then you're either going to be looking for a new DVD player or a new receiver.
